Fig. 2A. 69-year-old man with pseudoaneurysm formation after stent
placement in left renal artery to treat hypertension. Catheter angiogram shows
pseudoaneurysm (arrow) near origin of stent. Lines on renal artery
are from program for quantitative analysis that was used to measure stent
diameters after placement.

Fig. 2B. 69-year-old man with pseudoaneurysm formation after stent
placement in left renal artery to treat hypertension. Direct axial CT scan
reveals extraluminal contrast material at proximal aspect of stent consistent
with pseudoaneurysm (arrow) seen on catheter angiogram in
A.

Fig. 3A. 83-year-old man with hypertension who underwent right renal
artery stent placement 9 months earlier. Selective catheter angiogram of right
renal artery shows intrastent stenosis. Metallic stent (arrows) and
contrast material in lumen are visualized.
