| *Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis (ARAS)
| |
| **Atherosclerosis accounts for approximately 90% of the cases of RAS and is the predominant lesion detected in patients >50 years of age
| |
| **The presence and number of diseased coronary arteries predicts the likelihood of ARAS
| |
| **RAS resulting from atherosclerotic disease is common in (18% to 20%) individuals undergoing coronary angiography (1)
| |
| **RAS resulting from atherosclerotic disease is even more common (35% to 50%) in individuals undergoing peripheral vascular angiography for occlusive disease of the aorta and legs (2)
| |
| *Fibromuscular dysplasia
| |
| **Unknown etiology
| |
| **Second most common cause of RAS
| |
| **Affects middle-aged women
| |
| **More common in first-degree relatives and in the presence of the ACE-I allele.
| |
| **Renal artery involvement is seen in 60% of cases - frequently bilateral compromise.
| |
| **Progressive renal stenosis is seen in 37% of cases and loss of renal mass in 63%

| ==Treatment Options==
| |
| ===Medical Therapy===
| |
| ===PTA===
| |
| ===Surgical===
| |
| ==Technical Considerations==
| |
| ===Renal Arteriography===
| |
| *Abdominal Aortogram: identification of ostia of the renal arteries and accessory renal arteries (25% of population)
| |
| *Arteriography should include both the arterial phase and the nephrographic phase
| |
| *Disease involving renal bifurcations require cranial or caudal angulation to open out the lesion
| |
| *Evidence of aortic atheroma: technique of no-touch angiography is recommended
| |
| ====Brachial Approach====
| |
| *For renal arteries that are oriented cephalad.
| |
| *When the aorta is occluded distally or the renal artery takeoff is severely angulated
| |
| *Proximal renal artery segment initially courses inferiorly and posteriorly braquial approach allows more coaxial alignment.
| |
| *Greater incidence of vascular site complications
| |
| ====Femoral approach====
| |
| *Renal artery angioplasty and stenting are usually performed via retrograde femoral approach.
| |
| *When the real artery origin is oriented horizontally or caudally with respect to the aorta, femoral approach is preferred.
| |
| ==Complications==
| |
| ===Complications of Percutaneous Renal Revascularization===
| |
| *Atheroembolism into the renal or peripheral vascular bed = cholesterol embolization
| |
| *Dissection of renal artery or the wall of the aorta
| |
| *Acute or delayed thrombosis
| |
| *Infection
| |
| *Rupture of renal artery
| |
| *Renal perforation
| |
| ==Prognosis==
| |
| ===Favorable Predictors===
| |
| '''Successful Outcome For Control Of Hypertension'''
| |
| *Rapid acceleration of hypertension over the prior weeks or months
| |
| *Presence of “malignant” hypertension
| |
| *Hypertension in association with flash pulmonary edema
| |
| *Contemporaneous rise in serum creatinine
| |
| *Development of azotemia in response to ACE inhibitors administered for control of hypertension.
| |
| '''Successful Salvage Or Preservation Of Renal Function'''
| |
| *Recent rapid rise in creatinine, unexplained by other factors
| |
| *Azotemia resulting from ACE inhibitors
| |
| *Absence of diabetes or other cause of intrinsic kidney disease
| |
| *Presence of global renal ischemia, wherein the entire functioning renal mass is subtended by bilateral critically narrowed renal arteries or a vessel supplying a solitary kidney.
| |
| ===Unfavorable Predictors===
| |
| *Renal atrophy demonstrated by kidney length <7.5 cm on ultrasound
| |
| *High renal resistance index detected by duplex ultrasound
| |
| *Proteinuria > 1gm/day
| |
| *Hyperuricemia
| |
| *Creatinine clearance <40 mL/minute
