title: Stent revascularization for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. 1-year clinical follow-up.
abstract: Patients who had undergone stent revascularization of renal artery stenosis for poorly controlled hypertension, preservation of renal function, or both were monitored to assess the procedure's effect upon subsequent renal function and blood pressure control. At 1-year follow-up, systolic and diastolic blood pressures had significantly decreased (166 +/- 26 to 156 +/- 25 mmHg and 86 +/- 14 to 80 +/- 13 mmHg, respectively; P < 0.05), and creatinine levels decreased or remained stable in approximately two thirds of the patients. Renal artery stent revascularization appears to have a beneficial effect upon blood pressure control and a nondeleterious effect upon renal function in the majority of patients.
