Treatment options in fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal artery: when percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is at high risk?
Renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease of truncal or branch kidney arteries, of unknown pathophysiology. In medial FMD, the most ...
In this case, The MR angiogram demonstrated a "beaded" appearance of the renal arteries, which is diagnostic for fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). FMD is the second most common cause of renal artery ...
A CT angiogram can provide detailed imagery of the blood vessels that go into the kidneys to help diagnose renal artery stenosis. (Photo Credit: ZEPHYR/Science Source) Most of the time, renal artery ...
THE appreciation of renal-artery lesions as a cause of systemic hypertension began with the work of Goldblatt et al. 1 in 1934. This experimental finding was immediately implicated in human ...
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys narrow. The renal arteries are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to your kidneys, which in ...
It has been reported that renovascular hypertension activates the renin–angiotensin system, leading to an increase in oxidative stress. We sought to determine whether renal-artery angioplasty improves ...
To the Editor: In their review article on renal-artery stenosis (Feb. 8 issue), 1 Safian and Textor indicate that the results of surgery and interventional radiology are better for hypertension ...
