While balloon angioplasty and surgery are associated with equal rates of improving renal function and hypertension in patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS), the higher rate of post-operative complications associated with the vascular surgical reconstruction makes angioplasty the preferred first-line treatment of RAS among patients requiring intervention. Vascular surgical reconstruction is reserved for a minority of cases.  The need for surgical reoperation is 5-15%.
