Compares imaging methods for renal artery stenosis (RAS). Detecting Performance of
Doppler ultrasonography vs. angiography in diagnosing RAS based on proximal criteria or …

Renal artery stenosis is the cause of progressive ischemic nephropathy and of renovascular
hypertension. Due to the invasiveness of arteriography, which is claimed to be the gold …

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a potentially curable cause of renovascular hypertension
(RVH) and is caused by either atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) in the vast …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES.: The authors compared Doppler ultrasound (US) with
computed tomographic (CT) angiography in the evaluation of stenosis of the main renal …

Renal artery stenosis is frequently considered in the diagnosis of severe hypertension and
renal insufficiency, but the benefits of screening and the choice of imaging modalities is …

Renal artery stenosis is the most common cause of potentially curable secondary
hypertension. For a long time, angiography has been considered the “gold standard” in …

The gold standard for the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis is angiography, with response to
treatment the proof of its significance. Non-invasive methods of investigation are required …

BACKGROUND: Detection of renal artery stenoses (RAS) by means of duplex Doppler
ultrasound with direct scanning of the main renal arteries is subject to numerous limitations …

Many different imaging modalities and techniques have been used in the past for the
diagnosis of renal artery stenosis. The ideal accurate, non-invasive and inexpensive …

CTA, MRT, captopril-enhanced scintigraphy and colour Doppler sonography all compete in
the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis and in experienced hands all perform equally well …
