Renal artery stenosis is the most common secondary cause of hypertension. It affects 5% of the 50 million people with HTN in the United States. Renovascular disease leads to malignant HTN in 10–45% of patients.

We are literally “surrounded” by innovation, less-invasive endovascular techniques and devices. “New paradigms” emerge every couple of years, perhaps more often! Many such new technologies and therapies can be classified as disruptive.
