Renal Vein Stenting

Renal vein stenting is a medical procedure used to relieve blockages in the renal vein, which drains blood from the kidney. When the renal vein becomes narrowed or compressed, it can lead to kidney damage and high blood pressure. During the procedure, a thin tube called a stent is inserted into the vein to keep it open and improve blood flow. This process can help prevent complications like kidney dysfunction and alleviate symptoms. It's typically performed by a specialized doctor using imaging technology for guidance and is minimally invasive.
