Case presentation: we report the case of a 63 year-old male with unilateral severe renal artery stenosis diagnosis, renal vascular hypertension, with clinical treatment failure and evidence of initial renal failure, who underwent angioplasty and Stent implantation in the third proximal of the renal right artery, without complications and adequate distal fow. Blood pressure control improved immediately after procedure and one year after adequate control is achieved with two medications and serum values for renal function are normal. Renal artery stenosis is the leading cause of secondary hypertension, and it is related with high rates of adverse cardiovascular consequences; which is why its suspicion and identifcation is important. Several imaging techniques are used to confrm the diagnosis; Doppler ultrasound, angio CT and selective angiography are the most used. Conclusions: current evidence shows that clinical management is the most adequate therapy in these cases, however there is much criticism about recent trials design. A larger, unbiased trial is needed in order to reach a general consensus worldwide.
