VASORENAL HYPERTENSION: AN EXAMPLE OF COMBINATION THERAPY

Abstract

The paper provides a follow-up of a child aged thirteen when the authors have diagnosed bilateral renal artery stenosis, most evident on the right. The patient underwent left balloon angioplasty and renal arterial transposition of the right renal artery in four months. The repeated examination showed normal arterial pressure without any correction of antihypertensive drugs. Based on the results, the authors concluded that combination therapy of renal angioplasty in cases of vasorenal hypertension is advisable.
