Successful Delayed Revascularisation for Renal Artery Occlusion

Should revascularisation be recommended for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis?

This multicentric, multinational, randomised controlled trial (RCT) was aimed to see if percutaneous revascularisation of the renal arteries in atherosclerotic renovascular disease provided clinical benefits. A total of 806 patients in whom the benefits of revascularisation were thought to be uncertain by their treating physicians were randomised to the medical therapy or the revascularisation ...

Chronic total occlusion and successful drug-eluting stent placement in Takayasu arteritis-induced renal artery stenosis.

Takayasu arteritis-induced renal artery stenosis (TARAS) is a condition rarely described in the literature. Although percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting has been well-described in the treatment of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, its role has not been established in non-atherosclerotic TARAS. We report a case of a female, age 17 years, with Takayasu arteritis who presented ...

Salvageability of renal function following renal revascularisation in children with Takayasu's arteritis-induced renal artery stenosis.

BACKGROUND Renal artery revascularisation procedures are usually carried out on children with renal artery stenosis from varied causes, including Takayasu's arteritis. Reports on the outcome of such procedures in children usually refer to the improvement in blood pressure, with only minimal mention of effects on renal function. OBJECTIVE Salvageability of renal function in children who underw...

Survival after bilateral renal artery occlusion.

Postoperative “Chimney” for Unintentional Renal Artery Occlusion after EVAR

Renal artery obstruction during endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm using standard device is a rare but life-threatening complication and should be recognized and repaired rapidly in order to maintain renal function. Both conventional surgery and endovascular stenting have been reported. We report a case of late postoperative bilateral "chimney" to resolve a bilateral thrombosis of...
