  • Title: Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty of arterial divarication: application of kissing balloon technique.
    Author: Tamura S, Asato M, Kihara Y, Yuki Y, Sugimura H, Adjei ON, Tong XQ, Watanabe K.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 1998; 16(5):387-9. PubMed ID: 9862165.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient with renal artery stenoses due to fibromuscular dysplasia involving the point of arterial bifurcation that we could successfully dilate with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. We used the kissing balloon technique to prevent possible complications of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA), including occlusion of the other branch while dilating one branch. The kissing balloon technique worked well for PTRA of the arterial bifurcation.
