Abstract:
Renal artery thrombosis is a rare, but serious and often misdiagnosed, condition, with poor prognosis and renal functional impairment. As for the rarity of the occurrence, data about real incidence of renal stent thrombosis are lacking, ranging from 0 to 1 % depending on the study evaluated. We report the case of a 43-year-old man with nephrovascular hypertension, previously treated with renal stent implantation, with a late stent thrombosis. The diagnostic and subsequent therapeutic management was analyzed and discussed.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Prostacyclin Receptor Agonists
These agonists bind to the IPR receptor situated on the plasma membrane of the pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. This binding triggers a cascade of reactions known as the GS-AC-cAMP-PKA pathway. This pathway results in the relaxation of smooth muscle...
