Abstract
A patient with a solitary kidney due to renal agenesis and contralateral kidney perfusion impairment due to renal artery stenosis was successfully treated with percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty. Preintervention diagnostic work-up included captopril renal scintigraphy, which was suggestive of high probability of renovascular hypertension. Scintigraphic assessment 2 mo after angioplasty failed to show any abnormality after captopril administration, a finding in line with blood pressure beneficial response to renal artery revascularization. A 12-mo follow-up confirmed cure of hypertension.
