Recovery of normal diurnal variation of blood pressure following renal artery stenting

Journal of Human Hypertension volume 17, pages 147–150 (2003)Cite this article

Abstract

Renal artery stenting is a therapeutic option in patients with functionally significant atherosclerotic renovascular disease. Improved control of blood pressure (BP) and preservation of renal function may be achieved following intervention. We present a case in which renal artery stenting was followed by recovery of the normal diurnal variation in BP.
