Abstract:
Although renal artery restenosis and thrombotic stent occlusion are not rare occurrences, the literature suggests that prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to preserve renal function, particularly in the setting of occlusion. We describe the case of a 75-year-old woman who underwent fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair and experienced acute anuric renal failure requiring dialysis secondary to bilateral renal artery stent occlusion for >48 hours. She was successfully treated with revisional endovascular therapy and made a full renal recovery.

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors
Among the PDE5 inhibitors, sildenafil (Revatio) stands out as a competitive and selective inhibitor. It operates by elevating cellular levels of cGMP and augmenting signaling through the cGMP-PKG pathway, promoting vasodilation. Upon oral...

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...
