Abstract
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) can cause resistant hypertension, progressive renal failure and/or cardiorenal syndrome. Although no randomized study to demonstrate the superiority of renal stenting over medical treatment is available, a case-sensitive approach is required for the treatment of ARAS. Here, we describe a case report of a symptomatic ARAS patient with a solitary functioning kidney in which successful detection of ARAS by ultrasonography examination with the Doppler method and timely renal artery stenting were performed.
