Abstract
We describe a 66βyearβold female who presented with recurrent acute pulmonary edema and uncontrolled hypertension. She was diagnosed with left renal artery stenosis and treated with angioplasty and stent placement. Her clinical status improved initially but symptoms recurred within 4 months. Further evaluation documented renal artery inβstent restenosis, which was successfully treated with cutting balloon angioplasty followed by brachytherapy. The feasibility of renal artery brachytherapy and shortβterm followβup is presented. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2003;58:151β154. Β© 2003 WileyβLiss, Inc.
