Diagnostic work-up for hemodynamical significant renal artery stenosis should be restricted
to patients suspected to be at moderate or high risk for renovascular disease. Patients at …

The diagnosis of renovascular disease (RVD), defined by the presence of occlusive lesions
(stenosis or occlusion) of renal arteries and/or their branches, has two main therapeutic …

Renovascular hypertension is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Interest
in identifying patients with renal artery stenosis has been stimulated recently by advances in …

A practical indication that a patient needs additional work-up for diagnosing renal artery
stenosis is the presence of drug-resistant hypertension. In such patients the prevalence of …

Renovascular disease is present in about 10-40% of patients with end-stage renal disease,
and constitutes the fastest-growing group of end-stage renal disease patients. The …

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is relatively common and often associated with
reversible hypertension, progressive renal insufficiency, and/or coronary‐independent …

Renovascular hypertension resulting from renal artery stenosis is a potentially curable form
of secondary hypertension. Although uncommon in the general hypertensive population, the …

In spite of our comprehensive understanding of renovascular hypertension, diagnostic tests
based on the pathophysiology of the disease have been disappointing in their sensitivity …

BACKGROUND Renovascular hypertension (RVHT) is systemic hypertension due to
haemodynamically significant RAS of the main renal artery or its proximal branches. 1 From …

Renal artery stenosis most often is caused by atherosclerosis. Although patients with renal
artery stenosis can be managed conservatively, renal revascularization may be indicated …
