Renal artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat renal artery stenosis, a condition in which the renal arteries become narrowed, leading to reduced blood flow to the kidneys. The procedure involves inserting a stent, a small mesh tube, into the affected artery to keep it open and restore normal blood flow.
Renal artery stenting is used to treat conditions such as hypertension, kidney failure, or to prevent further kidney damage. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and does not require large incisions.
This treatment helps prevent kidney damage, reduce high blood pressure, and improve overall kidney function.
