The impact of coronary artery stenosis (CAS) on renal injury is unknown. Here we tested
whether the existence of CAS, regardless of concurrent atherosclerosis, would induce …

BACKGROUND Revascularization of a stenotic renal artery improves kidney function only in
select patients with renovascular hypertension (HT) secondary to atherosclerosis. However …

Background—Atherosclerotic renovascular disease may augment deterioration of renal
function and ischemic nephropathy compared with other causes of renal artery stenosis …

Renal function in patients with atherosclerosis and renal artery stenosis (ARAS) deteriorates
more frequently than in nonatherosclerotic RAS. We hypothesized that ARAS aggravates …

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is increasingly identified in patients with end-
stage renal disease. Renal function in ARAS patients deteriorates more frequently than in …

Background Hypertension (HTN) may lead to left ventricular hypertrophy and vascular
dysfunction, which are independent factors for adverse cardiovascular outcomes. We …

Percutaneous transluminal renal stenting (PTRS) does not consistently improve renal
function in patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease, but the mechanisms …

Background—The selection of patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS) likely to improve
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty is difficult …

Objective—Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) aggravates renal scarring more
than other causes of renal artery stenosis (RAS), but the underlying pathogenic mechanisms …

Aims The mechanisms responsible for renal injury in atherosclerotic renovascular disease
(ARVD) are incompletely understood, and few therapeutic options are available to reverse it …
