OBJECTIVES To identify evidence to guide the vascular surgeon as to the relevance of renal artery stenting in a patient with symptomatic renal artery stenosis undergoing elective endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). METHODS A comprehensive literature search of MEDLINE was performed without time limits. The following terms were used in the first instance: renal artery stenting and renal...

Spontaneous renal artery dissection is a rare but important cause of flank pain. We report a case of isolated spontaneous renal artery dissection in 56-year-old man complicated by renal infarction presented with flank pain. Doppler study pointed towards vascular pathology. Computed tomography (CT) angiography was used to make final diagnosis which demonstrated intimal flap in main renal artery ...

Renovascular disease includes renal artery stenosis, renovascular hypertension, and azotemic renovascular disease (ischemic nephropathy). It is important to distinguish between renovascular hypertension and renal artery stenosis. Stenosis of the renal artery is common in nonhypertensive elderly persons and is an associated but noncausative finding in a number of hypertensive patients. Renovascu...

introduction: ischemia-reperfusion (ir) injury involves a complex, interrelated sequence of events. generation of reactive oxygen species (ros) especially superoxide anion, during ir is reported. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of mn (iii) tetrakis (4- benzoic acid) porphyrin (mntbap), an active, stable, nontoxic, and cell permeable sod (super oxide dismutase) mimetic i...

Renovascular hypertension is caused by narrowing of the arteries supplying the kidneys. There are several methods to treat renal artery stenosis, such as medications, percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty, and atherosclerosis. A boy presented to our hospital with severe hypertension. Computed tomography angiogram revealed severe narrowing of the left renal artery and hypoplastic left kidn...

The renal arteries are a pair of lateral branches arising from the abdominal aorta below the level of superior mesenteric artery at the upper lumbar level (L1-L3) [1]. Each renal artery divides into anterior and posterior divisions at or very close to the hilum of the kidney. Further it divides into segmental arteries to supply the respective segments of the kidney being themselves the end arte...

Renal denervation (RDN), a recently developed therapy for resistant hypertension, is generally regarded as a safe procedure (Krum et al., 2009; Esler et al., 2010; Bhatt et al., 2014). The Symplicity HTN trials reported that the rate of renal artery stenosis after RDN was low. For example, the Symplicity HTN-1 trial showed that 1 of 45 (2.2%) denervated patients developed a non-obstructive rena...

colocasia esculenta linn (ce) is traditionally used for the treatment of various ailments such as high blood pressure, rheumatic pain, pulmonary congestion, etc. hence in present study, the effect of aqueous extract of ce leaves (aece) was evaluated for antihypertensive and acute diuretic activity in rats. preliminary phytochemical evaluation revealed the presence of carbohydrate, saponins, tan...
