Renal Ostial Angioplasty and Stenting. Part 2: Pitfalls and Complications

Renal ostial stenting (ROS) is the most common endovascular intervention for treatment of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. This article is the second in a two-part series dedicated to pitfalls and complications of renal stenting.
