I had an MRI done and it showed a 60% blockage in the left renal artery.  They sent me for a catherazation through through the groin area and they didn't see any blockage.  I do have a dull flank pain.  I also now have high blood pressure.  they have tried different meds  to regulate the bp

Could you please clarify your question? Did you undergo a renal angiogram that was performed via a catheter that was inserted into either the arm or groin?
