The authors report the case of a 74 year old woman admitted to hospital for severe hypertension with unilateral renal artery thrombosis. Recanalisation of the renal artery was obtained by transluminal angioplasty leading to rapid control of the hypertension. Dynamic renal scintigraphy with MAG 3 confirmed the viability of the kidney distal to the thrombosis and, secondarily, the functional recovery of the affected kidney.
