Renal Artery Bypass Surgery

Definition

Renal artery bypass surgery is a surgical procedure performed to restore blood flow to the kidneys by bypassing a narrowed or blocked renal artery. This is typically done by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic graft to create a new pathway for blood to flow to the affected kidney, improving its function and reducing the risk of complications.
