[Coronary and renal percutaneous angioplasty performed in the same procedure. A report on 5 consecutive cases].
Percutaneous transluminal coronary and renal angioplasty (PTA and Renal PTA) were performed during the same procedure in five of 100 patients who underwent PTCA between August 1989 and June 1990. All patients were male, with systemic hypertension (HT) with angina grade I to IV. The median age was 62 years (range 53 to 74). Three patients had controlled HT with 2 to 4 drugs and 2 were uncontrolled even after multiple antihypertensive treatment. Two patients were diabetic and the serum creatinine levels were normal except in one patient (1.9 mg/dL). Lesions more than 70% obstruction of luminal diameter were approached. Multivessel PTCA was done in one patient, multi-lesion in 2 and single lesion in other two. A total of 11 lesions were dilated, 4 in LAD, 5 in Cx and 2 in RCA (type A = 2, type B = 9). Complete revascularization was achieved in all cases. Five renal lesions were approached, 4 in the proximal third and one on the middle third. In 2 patients the blood pressure (BP) fell within normal limits without medication. In other 2 there was an improvement and were easily controlled with just one drug. One patient had no improvement and required multiple therapy to control it. The only complication observed was in a diabetic with previous abnormal serum creatinine who developed non-oliguric renal failure and returned to basal creatinine level at the third day post PTCA. In selected cases PTCA and renal PTA can be safely performed during the same procedure, with the advantage of cost reduction.
