Abstract:
Severe atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis can manifest as treatment-resistant hypertension, ischemic nephropathy and/or cardiac disturbance syndromes of recurrent flash pulmonary edema and refractory angina. Renal artery revascularization can dramatically impact patient outcome. However, patient selection for revascularization can be challenging. Renal artery stenting is most commonly used for renal revascularization and is a safe procedure when performed in carefully selected patients. This review addresses the pathophysiology of renal artery stenosis and the data supporting revascularization in such patients.
