What would be done if accessory renal artery causes hypertension in 14 year old?

None: Accessory renal artery does not usually cause high blood pressure by itself. It is often a accidental finding. It is the native arteries that may cause hypertension if one of them has a narrowing often by a fibromuscular band as is commonly seen in young females. It should be treated by surgery or by angioplasty /stent.

Angioplasty: If an accessory artery is thought to cause hypertension, it could be dilated and stented. The conservative routed is to use blood pressure medicines if BP is easily controllable and follow up with a nephrologist closely.

It doesn't: An accessory renal artery is simply a normal variation of how the blood vessels go to a kidney. Instead of the normal one vessel, there are two, or even more. It is normal and seen commonly.
