- Abstract
The impact of renal artery stenting on renal function in a subgroup of consecutive de novo patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis from the single operator, single center, retrospective renal stent trial is defined. Patients with inadequate preprocedure and/or follow-up renal function studies were excluded. Abnormal baseline serum creatinine (sCr) was defined as ⩾ 1.5 mg/dL. Follow-up sCr was improved, unchanged, or worsened if the variance from baseline decreased by >20%, stayed within 20%, or increased >20%, respectively. For the total cohort (194 patients), renal function stabilized or improved in 72% of patients. Plotting 1/sCr demonstrated a decline in renal function before the procedure that stabilized following renal artery stenting. Bilateral renal artery stenting predicted normal follow-up sCr, and baseline sCr >2. I mg/dL was associated with improvement in sCr long- term. In conclusion, renal artery stenting results in over- all stabilization of renal function, and bilateral renal artery stenting seems to have added benefit.
