Overview

While balloon angioplasty and surgery are associated with equal rates of improving renal function and hypertension in patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS), the higher rate of post-operative complications associated with the vascular surgical reconstruction makes angioplasty the preferred first-line treatment of RAS among patients requiring intervention. Vascular surgical reconstruction is reserved for a minority of cases. The need for surgical reoperation is 5-15%.

Surgery

Vascular surgical reconstruction is reserved for a minority of cases. Similar to all surgeries, vascular surgical reconstruction is associated with complications. The need for reoperation is documented in 5-15% of all Renal artery stenosis patients who require surgical intervention.[1][2][3][4][5]

Indications

Vascular surgical reconstruction is indicated in specific cases of atherosclerotic RAS[1][2][3][4][5]:

Risk Factors

The risk of complications associated with renal artery reconstruction increases in the following conditions:[1][2][3][4][5]:

Class I "1. Vascular surgical reconstruction is indicated for patients with fibromuscular dysplastic RAS with clinical indications for interventions (same as for PTA), especially those exhibiting complex disease that extends into the segmental arteries and those having macroaneurysms. (Level of Evidence: B)"


"2. Vascular surgical reconstruction is indicated for patients with atherosclerotic RAS and clinical indications for intervention, especially those with multiple small renal arteries or early primary branching of the main renal artery. (Level of Evidence: B)"


"3. Vascular surgical reconstruction is indicated for patients with atherosclerotic RAS in combination with pararenal aortic reconstructions (in treatment of aortic aneurysms or severe aortoiliac occlusive disease). (Level of Evidence: C)"
