Renal Artery Stenting is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat narrowing or blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. Reduced blood flow can lead to high blood pressure, kidney dysfunction, or fluid retention. This procedure helps restore proper blood supply, protect kidney function, and control hypertension effectively. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla performs Renal Artery Stenting with precision, ensuring safety and optimal outcomes.
The procedure is usually recommended for patients who experience:
Poorly controlled high blood pressure despite medication
Kidney function deterioration
Swelling in legs or feet
Fatigue or weakness
Signs of reduced blood flow to the kidneys on imaging tests
Early intervention helps prevent long-term kidney damage and associated complications.
Renal Artery Stenting is performed under local anesthesia. A thin catheter is inserted through a blood vessel, usually in the groin, and guided to the narrowed kidney artery. A small balloon is inflated to widen the artery, and a stent is placed to keep it open permanently. The procedure is guided by imaging for precise placement. Most patients recover quickly and can resume normal activities within a short period. Dr. Vaibhav Shukla ensures careful monitoring and accurate stent placement for effective results.
With expertise in interventional cardiology and vascular procedures, Dr. Vaibhav Shukla delivers high-quality care, ensuring patient comfort, precise stent placement, and reliable kidney protection.
