- Abstract
The article presents an overview of renal artery stenosis, which is common in adults with atherosclerosis and is associated with hypertension, impaired renal function, congestive heart failure and angina pectoris. A discussion of the case of an 82 year old woman with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and renal artery stenosis is presented in an effort to illustrate the challenges surrounding indications in stenosis patients which suggest the need for revascularization. The proper diagnosis and treatment of renal artery stenosis are discussed.
