Prospective multicentre study of the natural history of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis in patients with peripheral vascular disease

Abstract

Patients with renal artery stenosis and peripheral vascular disease had a poor prognosis, but this was not directly attributable to renal failure.

Tratamento endovascular da estenose da artéria renal em rim único

“…18 Untreated patients with renovascular hypertension will die within 2 years, although death is not attributed to alteration in renal function, but to coronary disease. 19 Although some authors state that stenosis repair improves hypertension and renal function, 11 preventing these patients from being submitted to a future hemodialysis, 20 it is considered that the function is directly associated with serum creatinine serum and is, therefore, one of the predictive factors of improvement in function after stenosis repair, 16 a nonsignificant fact that was detected in this study. Based on the results obtained in this series, we can claim that renal stenosis repair improves arterial hypertension and reduces renal overload, with consequent improvement in the patient's quality of life, although the sample is small to generalize the results.…”

Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis: Association with Emerging Vascular Risk Factors

“…Furthermore, ARAS is often accompanied by vascular disease in at least 1 additional arterial bed, namely PAD [142,143,144,145,146], abdominal aortic disease [146,147,148,149], carotid artery disease [145,150,151,152] and/or CHD [2, 114, 116, 152, 153]. This was recently verified in a cohort of patients with CHD.…”
