Filter by:Takayasu arteritis associated renal artery stenosis (TARAS) is the biggest cause of hypertension in young people <40 years old. Hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis is usually hard to control in spite of two or more anti-hypertension drugs. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is recommended for hypertension caused by TARAS. In previous clinical practice, we observed relatively effects of PTA on controlling the blood pressure in patients with TARAS. But, high re-stenosis rate was also indicated. Drug coated balloon (DCB）is a new type of PTA, which could improve the re-stenosis rate significantly. In the clinical trials of peripheral vascular disease, it has been confirmed that DCB had lower re-stenosis rate than PTA. However, up to date, no studies was found about the use of DBC in TARAS. Thus, this study was design as a random, double blind trial to evaluated the effects and safety of DCB in the treatment of hypertension caused by TARAS.
Researchers are evaluating a noninvasive treatment with ultrasound waves for Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis (ARAS).
The investigators conducted a bicentric prospective study to quantify the hemodynamic disturbances to the ostia of the renal arteries generated by the implantation EVAR with suprarenal fixation immediately postoperatively.
1. Evaluate the feasibility for the on-table evaluation of the renal perfusion by using Syngo Dyna Parenchymal Blood Volume(PBV) Body; 2. Explore the clinical benefits of this application during procedure to help the physician to determine the procedure endpoint.
Although expert consensuses recommend the use of statins in the treatment of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, in patients with severe atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis undergoing stent placement, the related investigation focused on renal protection by intensive lipid-lowering therapy is scant , and the optimal target level for lipid reduction remain uncertain. Therefore, we hypothesized that intensive lipid lowering could offer more benefits with respect to renal function in the patients with percutaneous renal artery stenting. We conducted the prospective randomized unblinded trial to compare the renal-protective effect of intensive lipid lowering with that of conventional lipid lowering in patients underwent renal artery stenting (75 patients in each study group)
Stenosis of the renal graft arteries occurs in 1 to 26% of cases and can damage the graft. Endovascular treatment is first-line treatment. The main objective of this study is to identify the predictive factors of failure of peri-anastomotic.
Renal artery stenosis is one the leading cause of secondary hypertension. Previous randomized controlled trials in humans have failed to demonstrate an improvement of renal function after stenosis dilation, probably because of a selection bias with more severe patients being excluded from randomization. Renal ischemia-reperfusion injuries have also not been taken into account. Indeed, reperfusion leads to a rapid renal blood flow recovery associated with renal ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a key player in the occurrence of ischemia reperfusion injuries because its opening leads to mitochondria leakage and cell death. However, preconditioning whether pharmacological or ischemic can prevent mPTP opening and protect cells. Ciclosporin A can prolong mPTP closing during reperfusion and reduce renal and cardiac tissular lesions. Another mPTP blocker (Bendavia) has been associated with an improvement of renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after renal artery stenosis dilation at 6 weeks in pigs. Based on a recent study, dilation overall benefit could be secondary to an improvement of the contralateral kidney GFR and tissue oxygen content, requiring a single kidney evaluation of those renal functional parameters. The investigators previously demonstrated that dose and timing of ciclosporin A preconditioning is key to protect kidneys from ischemia-reperfusion injuries. Previous controlled trials that failed to demonstrate a benefit of ciclosporin A conditioning have used post conditioning on necrotic cells. Considering kidney ischemia-reperfusion injuries, preconditioning have led to more encouraging results compared to ciclosporin A post conditioning in animals. Therefore the investigators aim to conduct the first clinical study of ciclosporin A preconditioning for prevention of kidney ischemia-reperfusion injuries after renal artery stenosis dilation. Using renal functional imaging and the new PET-MRI (Positron Emission Tomography-Magnetic Resonance Imaging) combined device, the investigators will evaluate kidney perfusion, oxidative metabolism, glomerular filtration rate and oxygen content before and 3 months after renal artery stenosis dilation with or without a ciclosporin A preconditioning.
This study will use PBV technique to quantitatively assess the improvement of renal perfusion before and after endovascular treatment (EVT) of renal artery stenosis.
A multicenter prospective registry planned to recruit more than 5 000 patients with renal artery stenosis was carried out in China. This primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of renal artery revascularization in the real world. The secondary purpose was to investigate the etiologic distribution of renal artery stenosis and optimize the indications for renal artery revascularization.
A prospective Danish national registry of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) in high-risk patients with renal artery stenosis selected on the basis of common national criteria, and with a common follow-up protocol for all three Danish centres offering PTRA
