What Is The Treatment For High Blood Pressure And Celiac Artery Stenosis?
My husband has recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure. His primary physician had him do an MRI to rule out Renal Artery Stenosis. The results came back that he has celiac artery stenosis. However, he has no symptoms from all of the information we have found. They are discussing a stent. Does this sound like a good idea?

Hi There
After reading the details provided by you i would like to tell you that the hypertension in your husbands case is most likely due to the renal artery stenosis.
Yes this stenosis needs to be treated because later on it can cause kidney damage due to reduced blood supply as well as can cause resistant hypertension.
So its advisable to go for stenting in a good center.
I wish him good health
