Renal artery revascularizationBackground. Renal artery stenosis is usually a well treatable cause of ischemic kidney disease as well as the pathophysiological basis of a subtype of secondary hypertension. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiology of renal artery stenosis, ...
Renal artery stenosis has always been considered a clinical problem and detrimental to kidney function. Recently, we have found a few reports of cases of patients with hypertension in which one kidney is affected with a moderate amount of RAS and the other kidney has a normal renal artery. Une...
, multi-centre, randomised (1:1) trial to evaluate the clinical impact of percutaneous transluminal renal artery stenting (PTRAS) on the impaired renal function measured by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with haemodynamically significant atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis...
We have investigated whether there is a difference in the long-term outcome of patients receiving either an S-ICD or TV-ICD while suffering from ESRD requiring HD. Patients with ESRD exhibit an markedly elevated risk for coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death...
