Minimally Invasive Treatments for High Blood Pressure

Minimally invasive treatments for high blood pressure target underlying vascular causes like blocked kidney arteries using procedures such as angioplasty and stenting. These safe, non-surgical options help restore blood flow, improve blood pressure control, and protect kidney health, resulting in faster recovery times.

3. High blood pressure, also known
as hypertension, silently damages
blood vessels, the heart, and
kidneys. While lifestyle changes
and medications help, some
patients struggle with
uncontrolled hypertension due to
hidden vascular issues.
High blood pressure affects 1 in 3
adults worldwide
Introduction

4. Vascular Causes of
Hypertension
Healthy
Artery
Partially Blocked
Artery
Blocked
Artery
Blocked or narrowed arteries,
especially in the kidneys, can
trigger severe hypertension. This
is called renovascular
hypertension.
Resistant hypertension (not controlled by drugs)
Progressive kidney damage
Higher risk of stroke and heart attack
Complications of untreated renal artery stenosis

5. 10 Minimally Invasive Treatments
?????? Renal Artery Angioplasty
A catheter with a balloon opens the narrowed
artery.
Restores blood flow and lowers blood pressure.
?????? Stenting
A small mesh tube keeps the artery open.
Long-term solution for recurrent blockages.
?????? Embolization
For cases like overactive adrenal glands causing
hypertension.
Tiny particles block abnormal blood supply.
No open surgery. Just a tiny incision

6. BENEFITS
RISKS AND
RECOVERY
Safer than traditional
surgery
Faster recovery (1–2 days
hospital stay)
Reduced need for lifelong
medications
Protects kidney and heart
health
Small risk of bleeding or
infection
Usually managed with
short-term observation
Recovery is quick: Most
patients return to routine
within a week

7. Q1: Can blocked kidney arteries really cause high
blood pressure?
Q2: What is the best non-surgical treatment for
hypertension from kidney problems?
Q3: How long is recovery after angioplasty or stenting?
Q4: How does interventional radiology help resistant
hypertension?
Yes. Narrowed renal arteries reduce blood supply,
activating hormonal pathways that increase blood
pressure.
Renal angioplasty and stenting are the most
widely used and effective options.
Most patients go home the same day or the
next, with minimal downtime.
By directly treating the vascular cause or using
investigational approaches like renal denervation.

8. Choosing a
Specialist
Choose an Interventional Radiologist experienced in
vascular procedures.
