May warrant monitoring for orthostatic instability after renovascular stenting; leaves open baroreflex impairment prevalence and reversibility.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Treatment of long-standing renovascular hypertension with percutaneous angioplasty and stenting can unmask blood pressure instability and orthostatic changes due to impaired baroreflex control.
Briasoulis et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (n=1). Percutaneous angioplasty with bare-metal stent was evaluated on Blood pressure changes (orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension). Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting for renovascular hypertension unmasked marked symptomatic orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension in a patient with long-standing hypertension.
