Renal artery stenosis commonly manifests with hypertension refractory to medical treatment. We report a case of renal artery stenosis occurring in a 19-year-old female patient who presented with extremely high blood pressure and bilateral renal stenosis at the duplex ultrasound. Renal angiography confirmed the bilateral and irregular stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia, associated to extent collaterals suppling the poststenotic right renal artery. Therefore, angioplasty with drug-eluting balloon was performed in order to obtain a good vessel patency and to improve patency in the long term follow-up. After the endovascular treatment the blood pressure improved markedly, maintaining this result at 12 months follow-up at clinical examination and duplex ultrasound. Keywords: Bilateral renal artery stenosis, Fibromuscular dysplasia |
