Renal Angioplasty

Renal angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat renal artery stenosis, a condition where the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys become narrowed. This narrowing can lead to high blood pressure (renal hypertension) and kidney damage if left untreated. During the procedure, a balloon catheter is inserted into the affected artery to widen it, and a stent may be placed to maintain proper blood flow.

This treatment not only helps in controlling hypertension but also improves kidney function and overall cardiovascular health. Patients undergoing renal angioplasty often experience significant improvements in their quality of life with minimal recovery time.
