Abstract
Guo J, Guo L, Zeng G, Tong Z, Gao X, Gu Y. An infant case of renovascular hypertension in moyamoya disease treated by angioplasty. Turk J Pediatr 2018; 60: 331-334. Here we report the treatment experience of an 18-month-old female infant case of renovascular hypertension due to moyamoya disease by angioplasty. Although renal blood flow was recovered immediately after operation, 12 months follow-up found severe restenosis which required us to perform a right renal autotransplantation.
