  • Title: Embolization and angioplasty to relieve malignant hypertension and azotemia in a renal transplant patient.
    Author: Russell RD.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1982; 5(6):307-11. PubMed ID: 6220804.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 23-year-old patient with malignant hypertension following a renal transplant illustrates the successful treatment of the hypertension with embolization of the native kidneys. Azotemia followed and was successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of high-grade stenosis at the anastomotic site of the allograft. Malignant hypertension redeveloped with the recanalization of the embolized native kidneys. This was successfully treated with contrast ablation.
