Renal hypoperfusion from renal artery stenosis (RAS) activates the renin-angiotensin
system, which in turn causes volume overload and hypertension. Atherosclerosis and …

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is frequently associated with severe comorbidities such as
reduced renal perfusion, hypertension, and end-stage renal failure. In approximately 90% of …

The physiologic role of the kidneys is dependent on the normal structure and functioning of
the renal vasculature. Knowledge and understanding of the embryologic basis of the renal …

Purpose This study was undertaken to evaluate the accuracy of contrast-enhanced magnetic
resonance angiography (CE-MRA) in detecting renal artery stenosis using intra-arterial …

Background Although it is well known that renal artery stenosis may cause renovascular
hypertension, it is unclear how the degree of stenosis should best be measured in …

An 8-year-old male was found on routine physical examination to have a blood pressure of
220/110. Renal angiography demonstrated bilateral renal artery stenosis and an aneurysm …

Purpose: A range of anatomically realistic multimodality renal artery phantoms consisting of
vessels with varying degrees of stenosis was developed and evaluated using four imaging …

This comparative review examines the efficacy of different imaging methods to detect and
quantify renal artery stenosis (RAS). Detection of RAS is important because it can lead to …

Objective: to justify and illustrate the advantages of multidetector-row CT (MDCT) as
probably the most effective method for imaging of renal arteries and to debate the question …

Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains above 140/90 mm Hg
despite the concurrent use of optimal dose of 3 antihypertensive agents of different classes …
