Most lesions that decrease renal blood flow originate within the renal artery; large, aortic, atherosclerotic plaques can overhang the renal ostium producing a functional renal artery stenosis. Forty-five consecutive percutaneous transluminal angioplasties were examined retrospectively and classified as to site of the obstructing lesion and clinical outcome. Stenoses within the renal artery responded very well to angioplasty, with 83% of patients showing either an excellent or good result. Conversely, when aortic plaques were responsible for inflow obstruction, 76% of patients responded poorly or not at all to balloon dilatation. This disparity of response may reflect the anatomic differences in the orientation of elastic and collagen fibers of the muscularis and advential layers of the renal artery and the aorta.
