Translesional pressure gradients to predict blood pressure response after renal artery stenting in patients with renovascular hypertension.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND In previous studies on the effect of renal stenting on arterial hypertension, patients were selected mainly on the basis of angiographic parameters of the renal artery stenosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether translesional pressure gradients could identify the patients with renal artery stenosis who might benefit from stenting. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 53 consecutive hypertensive patients with unilateral RAS scheduled for renal artery intervention were recruited. Transstenotic pressure gradients were measured at baseline and during maximal hyperemia, before renal artery stenting. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure measurements were performed in all patients before and 3 months after the intervention. Average reductions in systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at follow-up were -20±30 mm Hg and -2±12 mm Hg, respectively. At multivariate analysis, dopamine-induced mean gradient was the only independent predictor of the variations of both systolic blood pressure (regression coefficient=-4.03, standard error=1.11; P<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (regression coefficient=-3.11, standard error=1.20; P=0.009). Patients who showed a decline in systolic blood pressure from the baseline value >20 mm Hg were considered as "responders." The optimal cutoff for identification of "responders" was a dopamine-induced mean gradient ≥20 mm Hg (area under the curve, 0.77; 95% confidence interval, 0.64 to 0.90; P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS A dopamine-induced mean pressure gradient of ≥20 mm Hg is highly predictive of arterial hypertension improvement after renal stenting, and therefore this measurement is useful for appropriate selection of patients with arterial hypertension.

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to determine a potential relationship between resting translesional pressures ratio (Pd/Pa ratio), renal fractional flow reserve (rFFR) and blood pressure response after renal artery stenting. METHODS Thirty five hypertensive patients (49% males, mean age 64 years) with at least 60% stenosis in angiography, underwent renal artery stenting. Translesional sys...

A 37-year old woman was suspected of having renovascular hypertension because of recent onset severe hypertension (blood pressure 220/135 mmHg; compared to 132/65 mmHg two years earlier) and an abdominal bruit. A captopril renal scan indicated the presence of right renal artery stenosis. Additionally, a captopril plasma renin activity (PRA) provocation test showed a positive result for renovasc...
