Renal Artery Stenosis – Diagnosis

Transcript

An alternative to ultrasound for diagnosis of renal artery stenosis is magnetic resonance angiography, which is using magnetic resonance imaging to identify blockages of the arteries. And when we do an MRI and it shows a blockage, then obviously the next step would be to go and confirm the diagnosis with a renal angiogram. And once you confirm it, then you could treat that patient with revascularization, with renal angioplasty, and stenting.
