Renovascular Hypertension
What are the treatments for the disease?
Treatments include:
high blood pressure medicine
angioplasty, which is a nonsurgical procedure to unclog a blocked
artery
stenting, a procedure that places a mesh tube into an artery to make it
wider and hold it open for better blood flow
surgery
What happens after treatment for the disease?
It is most important to bring the blood pressure down to a normal level and to
control any kidney disease. Blockage in the arteries may recur, and
angioplasty or stenting may have to be done again.
How is the disease monitored?
Regular follow-up visits with the doctor will be needed to check blood pressure
and kidney function.
