  Fig. 1 Maximal intensity image (A) and volume-rendering image (B) of computed tomography angiography show focal stenosis (arrow) in the left renal artery proximal portion. (C) Abdominal aortography shows severe stenosis (more than 90%) in the proximal portion of the left renal artery. (D) Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) was performed using a 4 mm × 4 cm and 6 mm × 4 cm balloon catheter. (E) After PTA, the inner diameter of the proximal renal artery was enlarged to about 80% of its original size.
