Abstract
The mechanism of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) wa s studied in 18 dogs. The dogs were divided into two groups. Seven dog s were in the early group and eleven were within 1-3 weeks after PTRA. A 4 / 0 resorbable chronic catgut was used to ligate subtotally the r enal artery to create fibromuscular dysplasia. PTRA was performed afte r renal artery stenosis for 6-8 weeks. The changes of ultrastructure o f renal artery were studied. A countrary orientation balance hypothesi s was proposed to explain the mechanism of PTRA.
