 | | Arterial dysplasias (AD) are uncommon angiopathy associated with heterogeneous histologic changes that may affect the carotid circulation and the visceral and peripheral arteries. | | | Patients with a moderate-to-severe renal insufficiency are at a significant risk of contrast material–induced acute tubular necrosis and atheroembolic renal failure, which could result in permanent or temporary dialysis. | | | Technical factors include false-positive examinations due to suboptimal angles, variation in operator experience, incomplete examination (because complete renal evaluation is cumbersome), the need to visualize the entire length of artery, transmitted cardiac and/or aortic pulsation (which may obscure renal waveforms), and different emphasis on variable parameters. |

| | Renal artery stenosis |
| | An expandable "scaffold-like" device, usually constructed of a stainless steel material, that is inserted into an artery to expand the inside passage and improve blood flow. | | | Some patients may be candidates for surgical revascularization, which involves restoring blood flow with an arterial bypass. | | | "Renal Vascular Disease: Medical Management, Angioplasty, and Stenting."

| | Explosive growth in renal artery interventional procedures; More cardiologists performing procedures |
| | In 1996 radiologists performed 4,700 renal artery interventional procedures (balloon angioplasty, stent or both), while cardiologists performed 2,380, said Timothy Murphy, MD, associate professor of radiology, Brown University Medical School, and lead author of the study. | | | This trial will examine its affect on stroke, heart attack, heart failure and worsening renal function, he said. | | | Historically, these procedures were done by interventional radiologists. |

| | Renal Osteodystrophy |
| | The reported predominance of each variety of bony change varies and doesn't correlate well with clinical findings or laboratory data. | | | The clinical presentation is influenced by the patient's age at onset of renal failure, the etiology of the renal disease, dietary content (protein, phosphate and calcium) and treatment modalities. | | | The major bony changes which can occur as a result of chronic renal failure are osteitis fibrosa cystica, osteomalacia or rickets, osteosclerosis and osteoporosis. |

| | Renal hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis may be difficult to treat. | | | Renal artery stenosis may cause chronic renal failure if it affects both renal arteries or if the hypertension associated with this condition is prolonged or severe. | | | Theblood pressure may be high, and there may be a history of hypertension that is refractory or difficult to control. |

| | Renal Artery Stenosis |
| | In rare cases, open surgical treatment with either endarterectomy (a direct clean-out of the artery) or surgical bypass will be necessary to treat severely diseased renal arteries. | | | The great majority of patients who require intervention can be treated with minimally invasive catheter-based balloon stent angioplasty through the groin arteries. | | | Any patient with impaired renal function and severe hypertension should be evaluated for renal artery arterial occlusive disease. |

| | Atherosclerosis (A stage of arteriosclerosis involving fatty deposits (atheromas) inside the arterial walls) can also affect the renal arteries and can lead to poor perfusion of the kidneys leading to reduced kidney function and, possibly, renal failure (Inability of the kidneys to excrete wastes and to help maintain the electrolyte balance). | | | The arterial supply of the kidneys is variable and there may be one or more renal arteries supplying each kidney. | | | Up to a third of total cardiac output can pass through the renal arteries to be filtered by the kidneys. |
