Renal artery stenting

Renal artery stenting is a medical procedure used to treat narrow or blocked arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. It involves inserting a small mesh tube, called a stent, into the affected artery to keep it open, improving blood flow. This can help reduce high blood pressure and protect kidney function. The procedure is typically done using a thin, flexible tube called a catheter, which is guided through blood vessels. It is performed by specialists in interventional nephrology and can be a vital option for patients with specific kidney-related issues.
