When high-grade renal artery stenosis is documented and blood pressure cannot be controlled with medication, or if renal function deteriorates, renal artery stenosis is often treated invasively. Renal artery stenosis is most commonly treated by endovascular techniques (i.e. [[angioplasty]] with or without [[stent]]ing). A 2003 [[meta-analysis]] found that angioplasty was safe and effective in this context.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Nordmann AJ, Woo K, Parkes R, Logan AG |title=Balloon angioplasty or medical therapy for hypertensive patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis?

In 2005, the ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of PAD mentioned revascularization among 2 groups of patients: Asymptomatic patients and those with impaired renal function or cardiovascular symptoms.
 
===Asymptomatic Patients===
The 2005 ACC/AHA guidelines showed class C evidence to revascularize asymptomatic patients only with hemodynamically significant RAS. Nonethless, the report mentioned no known benefit or risk at the time for such procedure in asymptomatic patients.
 
===Hypertension===
Revascularization was recommended by ACC/AHA guidelines, with class B evidence, in hypertensive patients who have hemodynamically significant RAS, malignant, resistant, and/or accelerated hypertension, and among those with unexplained unilateral small kidneys or intolerance to anti-hypertensive medications.
 
===Impaired Renal Function===
Revascularization was recommended with level B evidence for patients with bilateral RAS, for those with a solitary kidney and RAS, and for those with RAS and progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). For patients with CKD and unilateral RAS, percutaneous revascularization was still considered reasonable, but with a level C evidence.
 
===Congestive Heart Failure===
Revascularization was indicated at level B evidence in patients with hemodynamically significant RAS and recurrent congestive heart failure of undefined cause or in cases of sudden flash pulmonary edema with unexplained etiology.  
 
===Unstable Angina===
There was level B evidence to recommend revascularization among patients known to have unstable angina with hemodynamically significant RAS.

Overview

Angioplasty is a procedure in which a catheter is put into the renal artery, usually through the groin, just as in a conventional angiogram. In addition, for angioplasty, a tiny balloon at the end of the catheter can be inflated to flatten the plaque against the wall of the artery. Then your doctor may position a small mesh tube, called a stent, to keep plaque flattened and the artery open.

Angioplasty and stenting

In 2005, the ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of PAD mentioned revascularization among 2 groups of patients: Asymptomatic patients and those with impaired renal function or cardiovascular symptoms.

Asymptomatic Patients

The 2005 ACC/AHA guidelines showed class C evidence to revascularize asymptomatic patients only with hemodynamically significant RAS. Nonethless, the report mentioned no known benefit or risk at the time for such procedure in asymptomatic patients.

Hypertension

Revascularization was recommended by ACC/AHA guidelines, with class B evidence, in hypertensive patients who have hemodynamically significant RAS, malignant, resistant, and/or accelerated hypertension, and among those with unexplained unilateral small kidneys or intolerance to anti-hypertensive medications.

Impaired Renal Function

Revascularization was recommended with level B evidence for patients with bilateral RAS, for those with a solitary kidney and RAS, and for those with RAS and progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). For patients with CKD and unilateral RAS, percutaneous revascularization was still considered reasonable, but with a level C evidence.

Congestive Heart Failure

Revascularization was indicated at level B evidence in patients with hemodynamically significant RAS and recurrent congestive heart failure of undefined cause or in cases of sudden flash pulmonary edema with unexplained etiology.

Unstable Angina

There was level B evidence to recommend revascularization among patients known to have unstable angina with hemodynamically significant RAS.

Indications for Revascularization of Asymptomatic Stenosis (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class IIb
"1. Percutaneous revascularization may be considered for treatment of an asymptomatic bilateral or solitary viable kidney with a hemodynamically significant RAS. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. The usefulness of percutaneous revascularization of an asymptomatic unilateral hemodynamically significant RAS in a viable kidney is not well established and is presently clinically unproven. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Hypertension (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class IIa
"1. Percutaneous revascularization is reasonable for patients with hemodynamically significant RAS and accelerated hypertension, resistant hypertension, malignant hypertension, hypertension with an unexplained unilateral small kidney, and hypertension with intolerance to medication. (Level of Evidence: B)"

Preservation of Renal Function (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class IIa
"1. Percutaneous revascularization is reasonable for patients with RAS and progressive chronic kidney disease with bilateral RAS or a RAS to a solitary functioning kidney. (Level of Evidence: B)"

Impact of RAS on Congestive Heart Failure and Unstable Angina (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
"1. Percutaneous revascularization is indicated for patients with hemodynamically significant RAS and recurrent, unexplained congestive heart failure or sudden, unexplained pulmonary edema (see text). (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIa
"1. Percutaneous revascularization is reasonable for patients with hemodynamically significant RAS and unstable angina (see text). (Level of Evidence: B)"

Catheter-Based Interventions (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
"1. Renal stent placement is indicated for ostial atherosclerotic RAS lesions that meet the clinical criteria for intervention. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. Balloon angioplasty with bailout stent placement if necessary is recommended for FMD lesions. (Level of Evidence: B)"
