Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a significant cause of secondary hypertension, particularly in younger patients. While more common in older adults, RAS can affect younger individuals, often due to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) or atherosclerotic disease. This case report discusses a 20-year-old man with hypertension secondary to RAS who was successfully treated with renal angioplasty, resulting in normalized blood pressure and symptom resolution. We also conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the efficacy and safety of renal angioplasty in young patients with RAS, highlighting its potential benefits and limitations
