Abstract
The authors report the case of a 74 year old woman admitted to hospita l for severe hypertension with unilateral renal artery thrombosis. Rec analisation of the renal artery was obtained by transluminal angioplas ty leading to rapid control of the hypertension. Dynamic renal scintig raphy with MAG 3 confirmed the viability of the kidney distal to the t hrombosis and, secondarily, the functional recovery of the affected ki dney.
