Renal artery aneurysm: treatment with percutaneous placement of a stent-graft.

Abstract

A stent-graft was placed percutaneously in the right renal artery of a 50-year-old woman with hypertension and a fibromuscular dysplastic lesion consisting of severe stenoses and a 1.5-cm saccular aneurysm with a wide neck. At 1-year follow-up with arteriography, arterial luminal diameter was normal and no aneurysm was depicted. The patient's blood pressure was normal without blood pressure medication.
