Abstract

The two most common causes for renal artery stenosis are fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and atheromatous renal artery stenosis (ARAS). FMD may cause uncontrolled hypertension, usually in younger patients, and is amenable to treatment with balloon angioplasty. ARAS is a more complex disorder and does not always require treatment. However, where therapy is required it is generally best treated by the insertion of a balloon expandable stent. Visceral arterial stenoses causing symptomatic gut ischaemia are relatively uncommon, but can be successfully treated with angioplasty or stent insertion.
