Fig. 1 Concentric proximal renal artery stenosis in a young man. This lesion responded only briefly to each of three balloon dilatations. After the third procedure, the patient was referred for surgical reconstruction, which was accomplished with a splenorenal bypass.

Fig. 2 A young man with a proximal concentric fibrous lesion suffered renal artery injury at an initial attempt at dilatation. An attempt at immediate revascularization was aborted when intubation could not be done safely. A, Arteriogram several weeks later shows reconstitution of the distal renal artery by collaterals. B, Successful delayed aortorenal graft. C, Posterior image of radionuclide renal flow scan before (left) and after (right) renal revascularization.

Fig. 3 Ostial atherosclerosis of right renal artery. A, Appearance immediately after dilatation. B, Angiogram 2 weeks later shows occlusion of the proximal right renal artery (arrow). C, Hepatorenal bypass graft (arrow) to the distal right renal artery. This reconstruction was selected because of severe atherosclerotic involvement of the aorta and obesity.
