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...
In addition, the feasibility of creating a arteriovenous fistula, as the gold standard of vascular access in patients requiring HD, can be complicated due to a reported rate between 11 and 36% of venous occlusion or central vein stenosis in patients with TV-ICDs or presence of a CIED device...
