ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty ( PTRA) and stenting for the treatment of renal artery stenosis (RAS). Method From Feb 2003 through Jun 2005, 19 consecutive RAS patients received interventional therapy including PTRA and/or stents in 12 cases, aortorenal bypass procedures in 4 cases, nephrectomy in 1, and angiography in 2 cases. Among the 12 PTRA and/or stenting cases, stent was deployed in 10 cases, and 2 patients received PTRA only. Results All patients had hypertension preoperatively ( mean blood pressure 172/98 mmHg). Serum creatinine concentration was greater than 1.5 mg/dL in one patient. There was no perioperative mortality nor major complications. Technical success was achieved in 11 patients (91.7%). During follow-up, mean blood pressure was 156/88 mmHg. Hypertension was improved in 8 patients (66. 7% ). Renal function was stable except one patient with renal insufficiency. Restenosis was found in one patient (8.3%). Conclusion PTRA and/or stent is safe, effective for the treatment of RAS in appropriately selected patients.
