Pediatric Renal Artery Stenosis: A 19 Year Experience in Management And Outcomes At A Tertiary Pediatric Hospital

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is an uncommon cause of pediatric hypertension. Guidelines for the work up and management have not been established. The most widely reported etiology of pediatric renovascular disease has been fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD); however, other etiologies including middle aortic syndrome (MAS) and vasculitides have been described. We reviewed cases of radiologically identified pediatric RAS and describe etiologies, management, and long term clinical outcomes in our patients.
