Stenosis of Renal Artery: An Unselected Necropsy Study

Stenosis of Renal Artery: an Unselected Necropsy Study.

MITRAL STENOSIS COMPLICATED BY RENAL ARTERY EMBOLISM

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...

Management of Renal Artery Stenosis - an Update

The role of the renal vasculature in eliciting renovascular hypertension (RVH) was established in 1934, when Goldblatt et al. [1] in a classical experimental study demonstrated that partial obstruction of the renal artery increased mean arterial blood pressure (BP). The pathophysiology of renal artery stenosis (RAS) is incompletely understood but has been postulated to be related to increased a...

On Renal Artery Stenosis

Eklöf, H. 2005. On renal artery stenosis. 54 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1824-5. Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a potentially curable cause of hypertension and azotemia. Besides intra-arterial renal angiography there are several non-invasive techniques utilized to diagnose patients with suspicion of renal artery stenosis. Removing the stenosis by revascularization to restore unobstructed blood flo...

Renal transplant artery stenosis.

Renal transplant artery stenosis is a relatively frequent complication after transplantation, with an incidence of up to 23% being reported. The gold standard for the diagnosis still remains renal arteriography. Several imaging techniques are available to confirm the diagnosis (duplex-Doppler, nuclear magnetic resonance, spiral computerized tomography), and their use depends, in part, on the ce...
