The major issues in approaching patients with renal artery stenosis relate to the role of renal artery stenosis in the management of hypertension, ie, “renovascular hypertension,” and to the potential for vascular compromise of renal function, ie, “ischemic nephropathy.” Ever since the original Goldblatt experiment in 1934, wherein experimental hypertension was produced by renal artery clamping...

BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid and lower extremity arteries may be associated with renal artery stenosis and influence the management of patients with renal artery disease. OBJECTIVE To document the prevalence and clinical features of carotid and lower extremity arterial disease in patients with renal artery atherosclerosis. METHODS An analysis of baseline data on 149 pat...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the unity of renal artery stenosis and peripheral vascular disease and to find the frequency of incidental renal artery stenosis in the patients with peripheral vascular disease. In this study,it was included 1502 patients that were sent from cardiovascular surgery department to radiology department to do lower extremity digital substraction angiography ...

Renal Artery Stenosis (RAS) occupies a prominent place among the secondary causes of arterial hypertension (HTA), in particular resistant.

We found 3 right and 2 left renal arteries with asymmetrical origins in a 61-year-old Korean male cadaver, whose cause of death was 'laryngeal carcinoma'. According to a previous classification, the first and second right renal arteries correspond to the early division and other renal arteries - to the extra renal arteries, except the first left renal artery as a typical renal artery. The third...

nary population. This is a very important subject since there are now a lot of cardiologists starting to perform renal artery procedures. There is a unique population of cardiologists that deals with the renal artery stenosis problem. This has been an interest of ours for several years. One of the first studies to examine the prevalence of renal artery stenosis in patients undergoing cardiac ca...

We have found that renal artery adenosine infusion produces hypertension associated with increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system in a uninephrectomized conscious dog with intact renal nerves. The objectives of this study were to: 1) compare the hemodynamic responses to renal artery adenosine infusion in the conscious and a-chloralose-anesthetized dog with both kidneys intact; and 2...

OBJECTIVE To explore the therapeutic efficacy and outcome of superselective transcatheter renal artery embolization for the treatment of hemorrhage from non-iatrogenic blunt renal trauma (BRT). METHODS Sixteen patients who received superselective transcatheter renal artery embolization for non-iatrogenic BRT hemorrhage between January 2003 and December 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Spri...

INTRODUCTION Surgical treatment of renal artery aneurysms is inevitably associated with temporary renal artery occlusion and risk of ischemic injury. We present a technique for renal artery grafting and aneurysm exclusion without interrupting renal blood flow. REPORT A symptomatic renal artery aneurysm was bypassed with a venous graft between the abdominal aorta and the very distal renal arte...

OBJECTIVE To determine a reference range of renal artery measurements by using Multidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) angiography and to find association of renal artery measurements with side of artery, gender and age. METHOD Two hundred and fifty study participants without renal artery disease who werepresented to Radiology Department, Ziauddin Hospital, Karachi, from November, 2016 to Ap...
