Renal Angiography & Angioplasty

Accurate Kidney Artery Diagnosis & Treatment at EPIC Heart & Vascular Center

At EPIC Heart & Vascular Center, we offer expert Renal Angiography & Angioplasty services near you to detect and treat narrowing or blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. Our board-certified interventional specialists use cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques to restore proper blood flow and help preserve kidney function.

What Is Renal Angiography & Angioplasty?

Renal Angiography is a diagnostic imaging test that uses contrast dye and X-ray to visualize the renal arteries—the blood vessels that supply your kidneys. If a blockage or narrowing (renal artery stenosis) is detected, Renal Angioplasty may be performed during the same session. In this procedure, a small balloon is inflated inside the narrowed artery to widen it, often followed by placement of a stent to keep it open.

 

Common Reasons for Renal Angiography & Angioplasty:

  • Uncontrolled or resistant high blood pressure

  • Sudden worsening of kidney function

  • Decreased kidney size on imaging

  • Suspected renal artery stenosis

  • Flash pulmonary edema

  • Abnormal kidney function tests

  • Pre-surgical evaluation

How the Procedure Works

The procedure begins with local anesthesia. A small catheter is inserted through the groin or wrist and guided to the renal arteries. Contrast dye is injected to take X-ray images. If narrowing is confirmed, angioplasty is done by inflating a tiny balloon at the site of blockage. A stent may then be inserted to maintain long-term artery openness. The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours and most patients go home the same day or the next.
