Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) has made a groundbreaking achievement in healthcare by successfully performing Kenya\u2019s first-ever Renal Artery Bypass Surgery. The complex procedure was done on 24th June, 2025 by our Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery team led by Dr. Stephen Takow.
\u200e
\u200eThe patient\u2014a 20-year-old female\u2014was diagnosed with renovascular hypertension, caused by severe narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to her kidneys. After determining that less invasive options like angioplasty and stenting were not suitable, the surgical team opted for the bypass procedure.She is recuperating well and discharged home.
\u200e
\u200eThe surgery involves grafting a blood vessel\u2014either from the patient or a synthetic graft\u2014to bypass the blocked renal artery, thereby restoring normal blood flow to the kidneys.
\u200e
\u200eThis historic milestone highlights MTRH\u2019s commitment to advancing specialized care and surgical innovation in Kenya and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
