INTRODUCTION Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is associated with uncontrolled hypertension and chronic renal failure. AIM To evaluate the influence of gender and presence of chronic renal failure on the outcomes of percutaneous transluminal renal artery stenting (PTRAS) due to atherosclerosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 28 ARAS patients underwent PTRAS and 36 stents were pl...

A few days ago (Nov 18, 2013) the results of the large prospective were presented and published. CORAL enrolled 947 participants who had atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), 60% and either uncontrolled systolic hypertension despite treatment with 2 anti-hypertensive drugs or stage 3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) [1]. CORAL randomly assigned patients to medical therapy plus renal-artery ...

Multi-criteria decision support systems are used in various fields of human activities. In every alternative multi-criteria decision making problem can be represented by a set of properties or constraints. The properties can be qualitative & quantitative. For measurement of these properties, there are different unit, as well as there are different optimization techniques. Depending upon the des...

Traditional Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods have now become outdated; therefore, most researchers are focusing on more robust hybrid MCDM models that combine two or techniques to address decision-making problems. The authors attempted create novel systems in this paper by integrating Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS) with Technique for Order of Preference Similarity Ideal Solution ...

Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is an advanced field of Operation Research; recently MCDM methods are efficient and common tools for performance evaluation in many areas such as finance and economy. The aim of this study is to show one of applications of mathematics in real word. This study with considering value based measures and accounting based measures simultaneously, provided a hybr...
