Abstract

In 2 patients with malignant hypertension and acute renal failure due to renal artery stenosis in a solitary functioning kidney, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was used to dilate the stenotic renal artery. In both cases, hypertension resolved and renal function significantly improved. Follow-up angiographies revealed the continued patency of the dilated vascular segments.
