Renal artery stenosis causes kidney ischemia, reducing the size of the affected kidney, which eventually results in atrophy. Although renal atrophy is considered irreversible, resolution of the ischemia occasionally restores kidney size when the cause is renal artery stenosis. Angioplasty is effective in patients with nonatherosclerotic renovascular diseases (non-ARVDs). Nevertheless, renal enlargement after angioplasty has not been fully examined. We conducted a retrospective study to examine this phenomenon in non-ARVD patients. Ten patients with a
