Visrutaratna P et al. – CTA can help in diagnosis of renovascular hypertension in children and adolescents. Although CTA is not a screening modality, it is appropriate in some situations.


Exclusive Author Commentary
Pannee Visrutaratna, 08/18/09

At present CTA should not be used to screen for renal artery stenosis because the site of stenosis in children is frequently in second order vessels. CTA might not be able to evaluate these vessels because of their small caliber and thus may miss these lesions. However CTA is a promising method for detection of lesions of the larger renal arteries. CTA is helpful in children with Williams syndrome, neurofibromatosis, and Takayasu arteritis.
