Introduction saccular with a calcified neck (Fig. 1) and was compressing the ureter resulting in significant hydroRenal artery aneurysms remain a relatively uncommon nephrosis (Fig. 2). At laparotomy a large left-sided haematoma was problem. The reported incidence has varied with the population described and ranges from 0.3% in patients encountered extending to the midline. It was possible to e...

Interv. Cardiol. (2014) 6(2), 127–129 ISSN 1755-5310 The future of renal artery stenting for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis Recently, the CORAL trial was published [1]. The overall finding of the CORAL trial was that stenting of atherosclerotic renal artery stenoses did not reduce the composite end point of cardiovascular or renal death, myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart fa...

BACKGROUND Renovascular hypertension is defined as hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis. The two main etiologies are atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. Fibromuscular dysplasia in an accessory renal artery as a cause of renovascular hypertension is uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION In this report, we present a relatively uncommon case of renovascular hypertension in a 35-year-old f...

1. Studies have been made of the behavior of renal blood flow after partial constriction of the renal artery in twenty-four dogs. 2. When reduction in renal blood flow is produced by partial constriction of the renal artery, a readjustment of flow in the direction of normal occurs within a few minutes, subsequent constriction being again followed by a return of flow toward normal until the arte...

In the developed world, atherosclerosis is by far the most common cause of renovascular disease. This normally develops at the renal artery ostium on the luminal surface of the aorta/proximal renal artery. The atheroma obstructs renal blood flow and leads to chronic renal ischaemia. Atheroma may account for >90% of cases in white vascular high-risk populations. Renal artery atheroma is commonly...

Introduction Variations of renal arteries occur frequently in general population with a reported prevalence of about 28–30% [1]. Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography is a fast, reliable, non-invasive, cost effective, preferable imaging modality for comprehensive evaluation of renal vascular anatomy as it depicts exquisite anatomical details [2–4]. Two types of numerical variati...

A 21 year old male was discovered to be severely hypertensive. He was found to have bilateral adrenal phaeochromocytomas and a single renal artery stenosis. More than 40 cases of coexisting renal artery stenosis and phaeochromocytomas have been reported. The aetiology of renal artery stenosis in association with phaeochromocytoma maybe multifactorial and the radiographic appearances are not alw...
