Abstract

We described a 19 year old female case with renovascular hypertension, whose blood pressure was high taking antihypertensive medications. The right renal artery was completely occluded at its ostium, and percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty was unsuccessful. After aortorenal bypass surgery, blood pressure was normalized without administration of antihypertensive medication.
