Renal artery thrombosis is a rare medical emergency and needs to be diagnosed early and treated urgently to prevent irreversible renal injury. We report a case of 35-year-old male, who presented with the total thrombotic occlusion of right renal artery and was managed with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with a drug eluting stent.
