This article reviews the screening and diagnostic tests used in the detection of significant
renal artery stenosis and renovascular hypertension. After addressing the …

Objective: Renal perfusion imaging may provide information about the hemodynamic
significance of a renal artery stenosis and could improve noninvasive characterization when …

Abstract purpose: We have previously demonstrated the greater sensitivity of 131 I-hippuran
renography than 99m TC-DTPA scintigraphy to diagnose renovascular hypertension (RVH) …

Coincident with the recent publication of recommendations from the 1987 Task Force on
Blood Pressure Control in Children, we noticed an increasing interest in hypertension …

Objective: To compare and contrast the diagnostic accuracy rates of two newer noninvasive
screening tests for renovascular hypertension, the most common curable cause of …

We treated 94 patients by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for renal artery
stenosis (RAS). Prior to PTA, a renogram during angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) …

The treatment of renovascular hypertension (RVH) has taken a great leap forward with the
advent of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). It has opened up treatment attempts …

In current clinical practice, angiographic evaluation of patients with suspected renovascular
hypertension usually follows clinical suspicion and positive captopril scintigraphy. Early …

A recently developed radiopharmaceutical with favorable characteristics for renal studies,
99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3), was employed for renal scintigraphy in the …

This study describes a systematic comparison of intra-arterial digital subtraction
angiography (DSA) of the main renal arteries with conventional angiography (CA), the …
