Factors that may play a role in these disappointing results regarding preservation of renal function include the global burden of atherosclerosis, renal parenchymal and small vessel arterial disease, ...
According to the findings from an American national research trial, people who suffer from a narrowing of the arteries that lead to the kidneys, or renal artery stenosis, do not experience better ...
Introduction: The effect of stent-assisted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for renal artery stenosis (RAS) on systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as well as renal function, ...
Patients with hypertension and renal artery stenosis due to Takayasu’s arteritis who were not responsive to percutaneous balloon angioplasty alone experienced reductions in BP when treated with ...
Stenosis of the renal artery by extrinsic compression is an infrequent cause of renovascular hypertension. In rare cases the compression is because of the presence of fibres from a crus of the ...

Introduction: There are no systematic tools to predict blood pressure (BP) or renal function (RF) improvement after stent-assisted percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for atherosclerotic renal ...
There is always great excitement in the blood pressure clinic when we encounter a patient with renal artery stenosis. In the majority this is due to atheromatous renal artery stenosis (ARAS). Some of ...
People who suffer from a narrowing of the arteries that lead to the kidneys, or renal artery stenosis, do not experience better outcomes when renal stenting is used finds a national research trial.
With this in mind, several noninvasive and invasive imaging and functional tools have been adopted for use in renal intervention to try and improve the prediction of which lesion and which patient ...
