Abstract

Revascularization of renal artery stenosis for the treatment of hypertension is an established procedure. In selected clinical scenarios, successful revascularization procedures may preserve or restore renal function. We present a 31-year-old man who underwent successful renal revascularization of a solitary functioning kidney after being dialysis dependent for approximately 190 days. He had dramatic improvement of renal function and has remained off dialysis since his surgery 18 months ago. He continues to have severe but controllable hypertension.
