ABSTRACT
We report a case of renovascular hypertension (RVH) by severe left renal artery stenosis (RAS) that was successfully treated by percutaneous intervention in a single-kidney patient with Leriches syndrome. A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to uncontrolled hypertension on medications with maximal doses. CT angiography showed complete occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta, the absence of the right kidney and the approximately 80% stenosis of the proximal left renal artery. The proximal left RAS was considered as an important factor in uncontrolled secondary hypertension and aggravation of his renal function. We made an attempt to relieve the RAS by transaxillary renal artery angioplasty and stenting because of the total occlusion of the bilateral iliac artery. His renal function was remarkably improved and his hypertension was well controlled with less antihypertensive medications after the procedure.
