Core Tip

Core tip: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the involved renal arteries has been reported; however, few cases were treated by drug coated balloon angioplasty. We aimed to demonstrate five young ladies who presented with a history of hypertension due to Takayasu arteritis. Our data indicated that drug coated balloon angioplasty is safe and effective for renal artery stenosis due to Takayasu arteritis.
