Abstract
Hypertension caused by 90% stenosis of a transplant renal artery was effectively treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the stenosed artery. Following dilation no pressure gradient existed across the stenosis. Hypertension developed in a 10 yr old girl with caudal regression syndrome and recurrent pylonephritis 5 mo. following homograft transplantation for chronic renal failure. Since percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed, the blood pressure remained within age-related normal limits.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
