However, the decision to perform this procedure has recently raised considerable debate. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stent in atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis patients, especially as it relates to blood pressure control and renal function improvement. Methods A retrospective analysis was made of the clinical data from 125 atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty from July 2004 to June 2008 in the Department of Vascular Surgery of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. We compared blood pressure, number of oral antihypertensive medications, and renal function changes pre and post-procedure at 24 months follow-up. Results A total of 125 atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis patients underwent percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty and 143 stents were placed. At 24 months follow-up, both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the number of oral antihypertensive medications were significantly reduced （P 〈0.05）. Overall, the estimated glomerular filtration rate did not change significantly （P〉0.05）; however, a significant increase in estimated glomerular filtration rate was observed in the subgroup of patients with a lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate and in the subgroup of patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis （P 〈0.05）. Conclusion Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty patients, providing a significant improvement in blood antihypertensive medications. s a safe procedure for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis pressure control and reduction in the number of oral展开更多

The dogs were divided into two groups. Seven dogs were in the early group and eleven were within 1-3 weeks after PTRA. A 4 / 0 resorbable chronic catgut was used to Hgate subtotally the renal artery to create fibromuscular dysplasia. PTRA was performed after renal artery stenosis for 6-8 weeks. The changes of ultrastructure of renal artery were studied. A countrary orientation balance hypothesis was proposed to explain the mechanism of PTRA.展开更多

The disease can implicate in any or all of the major organs I As a chronic relapsing and remitting disorder, the overall 10-year survival rate is approximately 90%; however, this rate is reduced in the presence of major complications. The overall mortality rate of TA depends on the severity of the le- sions and involved organs.展开更多
