- Abstract: Renovascular hypertension (RVHT) is a major cause of surgically correctable secondary hypertension. Refractory hypertension despite multiple antihypertensive drugs requires angioplasty, surgical revascularization, or even nephrectomy. Herein, we report a pediatric patient who had been treated with angioplasty, nephrectomy, and aortorenal bypass surgery for RVHT due to fibromuscular dysplasia and re-do endoaneurysmal graft replacement for a vein graft aneurysm. This case highlights the various treatment modalities for RVHT and the recurrent nature of the disease with a rare presentation of a vein graft aneurysm after aortorenal bypass.
