Article	Year
Renovascular hypertension due to Takayasu's arteritis demonstrated by Tc-99m ethylenedicysteine captopril scintigraphy. Clinical nuclear medicine, 1996, Volume: 21, Issue:9 A 34-year-old woman with severe hypertension underwent Tc-99m ethylenedicycteine (Tc-99m EC) captopril renal scintigraphy. There was bilateral parenchymal retention of the tracer suggesting renal artery stenosis. Angiography confirmed bilateral renal artery stenosis and also demonstrated contour irregularities of the abdominal aorta, and stenosis in mesenteric and subclavian arteries with increased collateral circulation consistent with Takayasu's arteritis. In light of this case of renal artery stenosis, it was concluded that Tc-99m EC can be used successfully as a potential renal agent in the diagnosis of renal involvement in patients with Takayasu's arteritis.
