Renal artery stenosis a minimally-invasive angioplasty with or without stenting. It is unclear if this approach yields better results than the use of medications alone. It is a relatively safe procedure. If all else fails and the kidney is thought to be worsening hypertension and revascularization with angioplasty or surgery does not work, then surgical removal of the affected kidney (nephrectomy) may significantly improve high blood pressure. Angioplasty with or without stenting is the best option for the treatment of renal artery stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia.

Celiac artery cannot be safely ligated in a living person, and obstruction of the celiac artery will lead to necrosis of the structures it supplies. The celiac artery is the only major artery that nourishes the abdominal digestive organs that does "not" have a similarly named vein. Most blood returning from the digestive organs (including from the area of distribution of the celiac artery) is diverted to the liver via the portal venous system for further processing and detoxification in the liver before returning to the systemic circulation via the hepatic veins. In contrast to the drainage of midgut and hindgut structures
