%X Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is most common cause of secondary hypertension and accounts for approximately 1¨C3% of all causes of hypertension. Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is important cause of RAS in young patients. Various therapeutic options are currently available for patients with renovascular hypertension: medical antihypertensive therapy, surgical revascularisation and transluminal angioplasty including stent implantation.
