sure is better controlled, or both), or unchanged. Interpretation of
data is limited by the uncertain clinical relevance of these classification groups. Furthermore, there are several potential reasons
why renal artery revascularization for ARAS may not result in dramatic improvement or cure of hypertension. First, many patients
with ARAS probably have essential, not renovascular hypertension.
Experimental Goldblatt models demonstrate renin-angiotensin
activation due to RAS, but hypertension in humans is more complex than indicated by these models.
31
Hypertension in ARAS may
be confounded by the presence of sympathetic and cerebral nervous system activation, vasoactive oxygen species, abnormalities
in endothelial-dependent relaxation, and ischemic and hypertensive intrarenal injury.
32
A more complex milieu than suggested
by Goldblatt models is suggested by similar degrees of renin activation in hypertensive patients with and without ARAS and
by the low cure rates demonstrated after successful revascularization. Second, many patients with hypertension have intrarenal
parenchymal disease, leading to hypertensive nephropathy and
self-perpetuating hypertension. In these patients, hypertension is
sustained by intrarenal mechanisms including increased sympathetic nerve activity, renin-angiotensin system activity, and impaired
sodium excretion regardless of patency of the proximal renal artery.
Despite these limitations, it is apparent that hypertension is more
likely to be cured after revascularization in patients with FMD
than in those with ARAS (75% vs. < 20%), regardless of the type of
revascularization.

Impact of Revascularization on Renal
Function
Observational studies suggest that renal artery revascularization can
stabilize or improve renal function (
zation results in significant improvement in postoperative total- and
single-kidney nuclear GFR, a slower decline in GFR, and improvements in renal dimensions and hyperconcentration of urinary
creatine. Improvement in renal function after stenting occurred in

In contrast to these observational data, five prospective randomized trials of renal revascularization failed to demonstrate improvement in renal outcomes after intervention.
19,20,22–24
Interpretation of
these studies is confounded by failure to assess renal perfusion
and the extent of baseline nephropathy prior to revascularization. Additionally, these studies relied on reciprocal serum Cr or
creatinine-based GFR estimates as major renal endpoints, which
have been shown to be unreliable for serial assessment of renal
function in ARAS patients.
11
Taken collectively, these studies suggest
that patient selection for revascularization of ARAS that is based on
the oculostenotic reflex, and without assessment of renal ischemia
and parenchymal disease, is likely not beneficial.
Impact of Revascularization
on Cardiovascular Outcome
Understanding the impact of renal revascularization on longterm outcome is hampered by selection bias and poorly designed
randomized controlled trials. The survival of medically treated
patients with renovascular disease has not been defined, but
most late deaths are due to cardiovascular events rather than progressive renal failure. After revascularization, predictors of 5- and
10-year mortalities include age older than 60 years, CAD, baseline
renal insufficiency, and persistent elevation of postoperative creatinine. Baseline Cr above 1.5 mg/dL is the strongest independent
predictor of late mortality at 4 years (relative risk [RR] 5.0); is a
stronger correlate of late mortality than diabetes (RR 2.5) or age
older than 70 years (RR 1.9); and is associated with a greater risk of
deterioration in renal function.35 Together, these data suggest that
elderly patients with advanced generalized atherosclerosis, manifested by occlusive diseases in multiple vascular beds and baseline renal insufficiency, have a worse prognosis than patients with
limited atherosclerosis and normal renal function. These data also
suggest that the outcomes of renal revascularization are better
when revascularization is performed before the development of
advanced parenchymal disease.
To address the impact of renal artery revascularization on overall cardiovascular outcomes, best medical therapy alone is being
compared to medical therapy plus stenting in the CORAL trial
(Cardiovascular Outcomes with Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions).
Enrollment of approximately 1100 randomized patients is expected
by 2012, and the primary endpoint is a composite of death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, hospitalization for congestive heart
failure, need for renal replacement, and doubling of serum Cr at
36
5 years.

therapy for renovascular hypertension associated with FMD is
an ACEI; refractory hypertension responds readily to PTA without stenting. In contrast, ARAS is highly prevalent among elderly
patients with other manifestations of atherosclerosis, and frequently results from in-growth of atherosclerotic plaque from
the abdominal aorta, compromising the ostium of the renal
artery. In elderly patients with generalized atherosclerosis and
ARAS, hypertension is usually not renin-dependent (i.e., essential hypertension). Because renal revascularization rarely cures
hypertension, these patients should be treated aggressively with

candidates for revascularization are those with baseline serum
Cr less than 2.0 mg/dL, bilateral ARAS, normal renal resistive indices, no proteinuria, and one or more manifestations of cardiac,
cerebral, or renal functional impairment. In these patients, renal
revascularization is best accomplished by stenting.

CHAPTER
25 Surgical Management
of Atherosclerotic Renal Artery
Disease
Billy G. Chacko, William B. Newton III, Kimberley J. Hansen
The introduction of new, more potent antihypertensive agents
and percutaneous endovascular techniques has influenced surgical intervention for atherosclerotic renal artery disease (ARAS).
Many physicians currently limit surgical intervention to severe
hypertension despite maximal medical therapy, or disease patterns
not amenable to percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty (PTRA), or renovascular disease associated with excretory
renal insufficiency (i.e., ischemic nephropathy). As a result, the
patient population selected for operative management is often
characterized by bilateral ostial renal artery stenosis (RAS) or occlusion (85%) superimposed on diffuse extrarenal atherosclerotic
disease (91%) in combination with renal insufficiency (60%).
Although there are several operative methods that can correct
ARAS, no single technique is clearly superior. Optimal methods of
operative renal reconstruction vary with the patient, pattern of renal
artery disease, and clinical significance of associated aortic lesions.

Prevalence, Evaluation, and Diagnosis
Prevalence
As discussed in Chapter 23, it has long been recognized that anatomical renal artery disease may be clinically silent. Conversely,
the disease may account for 3% of hypertension within the general
population. Of patients presenting for chronic renal replacement
therapy, 10% to 20% have renal artery disease.
alence in patients with mild hypertension is low, renovascular disease is frequently present in patients with severe hypertension.
Dietch et al. found that 50% of patients aged 60 years or older
with diastolic blood pressure 104 mmHg or higher demonstrated
significant RAS or occlusion.5 When these characteristics were
associated with serum creatinine (SCr) greater than 2.0 mg/dL,
the prevalence of renal artery disease increased to 70%. Half of
these latter patients demonstrated bilateral renal artery disease.
These data suggest that the probability of finding clinically significant renal artery disease varies directly with the patient's age,
severity of hypertension, and severity of renal insufficiency. With
this in mind, we recommend evaluation for renovascular disease in
all persons with severe hypertension, especially when severe hypertension is found in combination with excretory renal insufficiency.
Evaluation
Through continued improvements in software and probe design,
renal duplex ultrasonography is an accurate and reliable method
to identify hemodynamically significant renal atherosclerotic
disease.
renal function, and overall accuracy is not affected by concomitant aortoiliac disease. In addition, preparation is minimal (an
overnight fast), and there is no need to alter antihypertensive
medications.
renal duplex ultrasound examination effectively excludes ischemic nephropathy because the primary consideration is global
renal ischemia based on main renal artery disease affecting both
kidneys. When screening for renovascular hypertension, however, a
negative duplex ultrasound examination does not reliably exclude
surgical disease due to stenotic accessory arteries or branch renal
artery disease.

Aortography and renal angiography may be indicated after a
positive duplex ultrasound study in selected patients. Patients
with severe hypertension and negative or nondiagnostic duplex
ultrasound examinations, especially children and young adults,
should also undergo angiography. Diagnostic digital subtraction angiography (DSA) can be performed with minimal risk in
an outpatient setting. In planning open operative therapy, imaging includes lateral aortography to evaluate the mesenteric vessels. Concurrent mesenteric artery disease was identified in 50%
of patients with significant RAS in an angiographic case series

authors identified a significant and independent association of
mesenteric artery stenosis with renal artery stenosis.10 Concurrent
mesenteric artery disease has bearing on the use of splanchnorenal reconstruction.

Diagnosis
When a unilateral renal artery lesion is confirmed in an adult
patient with severe hypertension, its functional significance
should be defined. Unfortunately, measurement of renal vein
renin does not have great value when severe bilateral disease
or disease to a solitary kidney is present. Therefore, the decision
for empirical intervention is based on severity of the renal artery
lesions, severity of hypertension, and degree of associated renal
insufficiency. In the latter instance, issues determining recovery
of excretory renal function in patients with ischemic nephropathy remain ill-defined. Our center's experience with over 240
patients with severe hypertension (mean, 201/104 mmHg) and
a preoperative SCr of 1.8 mg/dL or greater has demonstrated a
significant association between improved renal function after
operative intervention and the site of renal artery disease, extent
of renovascular repair, and rate of decline in preoperative renal
function.
in excretory renal function is associated with the best opportunity for recovery of renal function.
improved renal function after operation is the primary determinant of dialysis-free survival among patients with preoperative
ischemic nephropathy.
appropriate as a combined aortic procedure in the absence of
functional studies (e.g., renal vein renin assay) when hypertension
is severe, the patient does not have significant risk factors for operation, and the probability of technical success is certain (>99%).
In these circumstances, correction of a renal artery lesion may be
justified to eliminate all possible causes of hypertension and renal
dysfunction. Because the probability of blood pressure benefit is
lower in such a patient, morbidity from the procedure must also be
predictably low.
cal decision to intervene is based on severity of the renovascular
lesions and degree of hypertension.
disease consists of severe stenosis on one side and only mild or
moderate disease on the contralateral side, the patient is treated as
though only a unilateral lesion exists. If both renal arteries have only
moderately severe disease (65%-80% diameter-reducing stenosis),
renal revascularization is undertaken only if hypertension is severe.

In contrast, if both renal artery lesions are severe (>80% stenosis)
and the patient has resistant hypertension despite medical therapy,
bilateral simultaneous renal revascularization is performed.
Furthermore, at least mild excretory renal insufficiency is often
present. Because renal insufficiency usually parallels the severity
of hypertension, a patient who presents with severe renal insuffi-

ciency but only mild to moderate hypertension usually has renal

parenchymal disease. Characteristically, renovascular hypertension
associated with severe renal insufficiency or dialysis dependence
is associated with very severe bilateral stenoses or total renal artery
occlusions.
2,14
When considering repair of renal artery disease, one
should evaluate the clinical status with respect to this characteristic presentation.
Management Options
Management of renal artery disease discovered incidentally during evaluation of cardiac, aortoiliac, or infrainguinal disease is
controversial. In this setting, the decision must address the need
for additional diagnostic tests and the decision whether or not to
perform combined intervention. Advocates for combined intervention frequently cite “natural history” data (
suggest atherosclerotic lesions of the renal artery frequently progress and progression is associated with irretrievable decline in
kidney size and function. Recent experience, however, disputes
this view. In an 8-year follow-up study of Cardiovascular Health
Study participants,
27
no individual with hemodynamically significant RAS at baseline demonstrated progression on follow-up.
Renal artery stenosis at baseline was not associated with a
decline in kidney size or function. In the absence of renovascular
hypertension or insufficiency (i.e., ischemic nephropathy), these
prospective data suggest that incidental renovascular disease
should not be submitted to intervention by any method. This conclusion is supported by the retrospective experience reported by
Williamson et al.
28
No prospective randomized clinical trial compares medical
management, percutaneous renal angioplasty with stent, and surgical reconstruction in patients with atherosclerotic renovascular
disease (also see Chapter 24). In patients with functionally significant renal artery lesions and severe hypertension, contemporary
results of operative management argue for a selective approach
toward renal artery intervention.
1,2
Whether by open surgical repair
or catheter-based methods, indications for intervention are the
same. These include all patients with severe or difficult-to-control
hypertension, especially when associated with renal insufficiency.
Table 25-1) that
Patient age, type of lesion, medical comorbidity, and concomitant
aortic disease must be considered in selecting patients for open
surgical or endovascular management. In the complete absence
of hypertension, renal artery intervention is not recommended by
any method.
Operative Management
GENERAL ISSUES
The presence of severe hypertension is considered a prerequisite for renal artery intervention. In general, functional studies
are used to guide management of unilateral lesions. Empirical
renal artery repair is performed without functional studies when
hypertension is severe and renal artery disease is bilateral or the
patient has ischemic nephropathy.
tic renal artery repair in the absence of hypertension, whether as
an isolated operative or catheter-based procedure or combined
with aortic reconstruction, is not recommended. With the exception of disease requiring bilateral ex vivo reconstructions that are
staged, all hemodynamically significant renal artery disease is corrected in a single operation. Having observed beneficial blood
pressure and renal function response regardless of kidney size or
histological pattern on renal biopsy, nephrectomy is reserved for
unreconstructible renal artery disease to a nonfunctioning kidney
(i.e., <10% function by reno graphy).
structions are preferred over indirect methods because concomitant disease of the celiac axis is present in 40% to 50% of patients,
and bilateral renal artery repair is required in 50%.
repair is associated with a significant and independent increased
risk of eventual dialysis dependence.
intraoperative duplex ultrasound is used to evaluate the technical
results of surgical repair.
29
PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION
Antihypertensive medications are reduced during the preoperative period to the minimum necessary for blood pressure
control. Patients requiring large doses of multiple medications
will often have reduced requirements while hospitalized on bed
rest. If continued therapy is required, vasodilators and selective
β-adrenergic blocking agents are the drugs of choice. If an adult's
diastolic blood pressure exceeds 120 mmHg, operative treatment
is postponed until the pressure is brought under control. In this
instance, intravenous (IV) therapy is administered in an intensive
care setting.

OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES
A variety of operative techniques have been used to treat renal
artery atherosclerosis. From a practical standpoint, the three
basic operations that have been most frequently used are aortore-
nal bypass, renal artery thromboendarterectomy, and renal arter y
reimplantation. Although each method may have its proponents,
no single approach provides optimal repair for all types of renal
artery disease. Aortorenal bypass, preferably with saphenous vein,
is probably the most versatile technique. However, thromboendarterectomy is especially useful for ostial atherosclerosis involving
multiple renal arteries. When the artery is sufficiently redundant,
reimplantation is probably the simplest technique and one particularly appropriate for combined repairs of aortic and renal
pathology.
Certain measures are used in almost all renal artery operations.
Mannitol is administered IV in 12.5-g doses early, and repeated
before and after periods of renal ischemia, up to a total dose of
1 g/kg patient body weight. Just prior to renal artery occlusion, a
bolus of 100 units of heparin per kilogram body weight is given
intravenously, and systemic anticoagulation is verified by activated
clotting time. Unless required for hemostasis, protamine is not routinely administered for reversal of heparin at completion of the
operation.
Aortorenal Bypass
The most common method of revascularization is aortorenal
bypass (
Fig. 25-1). Three types of material are available for con-
duit: autologous saphenous vein, autologous hypogastric artery,
and prosthetic grafts. The choice of conduit depends on a number of factors. In adults, we preferentially use the saphenous vein.
However, if the vein is small (<
4 mm in diameter) or sclerotic, the
hypogastric artery or a synthetic prosthetic graft may be preferable.
A 6-mm, thin-walled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft is satisfactory when the distal renal artery is of large caliber (≥
4 mm) and
provides long-term patency equivalent to that of saphenous vein.
Thromboendarterectomy
In cases of bilateral atherosclerosis of the renal artery origins,
simultaneous bilateral endarterectomy may be the most appropriate procedure. Although endarterectomy may be performed in a
transrenal fashion, the transaortic technique is used in the majority of instances. The transaortic method is particularly applicable
in patients with multiple renal arteries that demonstrate orificial
disease. Transaortic endarterectomy is performed through a longitudinal aortotomy, with sleeve endarterectomy of the aorta and
eversion endarterectomies of the renal arteries (Fig. 25-2). When
combined aortic replacement is planned, the transaortic endarterectomy is performed through the transected aorta (
Fig. 25-3).
When using the transaortic technique, it is important to mobilize
the renal arteries extensively to allow eversion of the vessel into the
aorta. This allows the distal endpoint to be completed under direct
vision.
Renal Artery Reimplantation
After the renal artery has been dissected from the surrounding
retroperitoneal tissue, the vessel may be somewhat redundant.
When the RAS is orificial and there is sufficient vessel length, the
renal artery can be transected and reimplanted into the aorta at a
slightly lower level. The renal artery must be spatulated and a portion of the aortic wall removed, as in renal artery bypass.
Splanchnorenal Bypass
Splanchnorenal bypass and other indirect procedures are also used
as alternative methods for renal revascularization.
30
In general, the
authors do not believe these procedures demonstrate long-term
patency equivalent to direct aortorenal reconstructions, but they
are useful in a selected subgroup of high-risk patients. Subcostal
incisions are used to perform splanchnorenal bypass.

The right
and left renal arteries are exposed through medial visceral rotation. A great saphenous vein (GSV) graft is typically used to construct the bypass. Occasionally the gastroduodenal artery on the

right and splenic artery on the left can be transected and anastomosed directly to the renal artery.
Ex Vivo
Reconstruction
Operative strategy for renal artery branch vessel repair is determined by the required exposure and anticipated period of renal
ischemia. When reconstruction can be accomplished with less
than 30 minutes of ischemia, an in situ repair is undertaken without special measures for renal preservation (Fig. 25-4). When
longer periods of ischemia are anticipated, one of two techniques
for hypothermic preservation of the kidney are considered. These
techniques include renal mobilization without renal vein transection and ex vivo repair and anatomical replacement in the renal
fossa. Ex vivo management is necessary when extensive exposure
will be required for extended periods. For atherosclerotic renovascular disease, ex vivo techniques are most commonly required for
branch renal artery repair after failed or complicated PTRA.
INTRAOPERATIVE DUPLEX ULTRASONOGRAPHY
Provided the best method of reconstruction is chosen for
renal artery repair, the short course and high blood flow rates
characteristic of renal reconstruction favor long-term patency.
Consequently, flawless technical repair plays a dominant role in
determining postoperative success. Intraoperative duplex ultrasonography provides a rapid, safe method of verifying technically flawless repair.
29
Because the ultrasound probe can be
placed immediately adjacent to the vascular repair, high carrying
frequencies may be used that provide excellent B-scan detail sensitive to less than 1-mm anatomical defects. Once imaged, defects
can be viewed in multiple projections during conditions of uninterrupted pulsatile blood flow. Intimal flaps not apparent during
static conditions are easily imaged while avoiding the adverse
effects of additional renal ischemia. In addition to excellent anatomical detail, important hemodynamic information is obtained
from spectral analysis of the Doppler-shifted signal proximal and
distal to the imaged defect.
29
Our technique of intraoperative
assessment with routine participation of a vascular technologist
has yielded a scan time of 7 to 10 minutes and a 98% study completion rate.
31
We have studied more than 800 renal artery repairs with ana-
tomical follow-up evaluation and reported on a subgroup of 249
32
repairs.
Intraoperative assessment was normal in 157, whereas
84 repairs (35%) demonstrated one or more defects by ultrasound imaging. Twenty-five of these defects (10%) had focal
increases in peak systolic velocity (PSV) of 2.0 ms or greater with
turbulent distal waveform and were defined as major. Each major
defect prompted immediate operative revision, and in each case
a significant defect was discovered. Ultrasound defects defined
as minor were not repaired. At 12-month follow-up, renal artery
patency free of critical stenosis was demonstrated in 97% of normal studies, 100% of minor defects, and 88% of revised major
defects, providing an overall patency of 97%. Among the five failures with normal ultrasound studies, three occurred after ex vivo
branch renal artery repair.

Perioperative mortality was 4.1%. Perioperative morbidity occurred
in 5% of patients. After open surgical repair, 42% of their patients
demonstrated improved early renal function (defined as ≥20%
decrease in SCr), 17% experienced a 20% or more increase in SCr,
and the remaining 41% exhibited no significant change. Improved
renal function was durable among surgical survivors at a mean
follow-up of 46 months, whereas 28% developed worsened function, and 39% remained unchanged. These authors noted that early
renal function response was an accurate predictor of long-term
survival.

Blood pressure measurements and medication requirements
at least 1 month after operative intervention were used to define
blood pressure response.3 Among all surgical survivors, 85% were
cured or improved, and 15% were considered failed. When compared with blood pressure improved or failed, blood pressure
cure was significantly and independently associated with an
improved dialysis-free survival. Although improved blood pressure
was associated with significant postoperative decreases in mean
blood pressure and medication requirements (205/107 mmHg
vs. 147/81 mmHg, and 2.8 vs. 1.7 medications), improved blood
pressure was not associated with increased dialysis-free survival.

Considering all surgical survivors, renal function increased
significantly after operation (preoperative vs. postoperative
mean EGFR, 41.1 ±

excretory renal function was defined as a change in EGFR of 20%
or more obtained at least 3 weeks after repair. Some 58% of patients

The relationship between each category of renal function
response and dialysis-free survival demonstrated significant interactions with preoperative renal function. An increased risk of death
or dialysis was observed for all patients if there was no improvement in postoperative renal function (
Fig. 25-6A).2 For patients with
unchanged renal function following surgery, an increased risk of
death or dialysis was significantly associated with a preoperative
renal function at the 25th percentile of EGFR or less (i.e., with ischemic nephropathy). These relationships are shown for predicted
dialysis-free survival for 25th percentile and median values of preoperative EGFR according to postoperative renal function response
(see
Fig. 25-6).
2
These associations between renal function response and
dialysis-free survival suggest that the designation of renal function
unchanged after intervention as “preserved” may be misleading.
Patients with ischemic nephropathy unchanged after open surgical repair remain at increased risk for death or dialysis. Similar
data relating renal function response and survival free from dialysis
after catheter-based intervention are not currently available.
Consequences of Operative Failures
Renal artery repairs failed in approximately 4% of patients during follow-up.

operative intervention. However, patients requiring secondary

reviewed report has examined the dialysis risk associated with
restenosis after catheter-based interventions.
Our experience with failed renal artery repairs reinforces two
important issues. First, the irretrievable loss of excretory renal function observed after failed renal artery repair supports the view that
renal revascularization should be performed for clear clinical indications, not as a “prophylactic” procedure in the absence of either
hypertension or renal insufficiency.

failure of PTRA on methods of secondary surgical management,
and blood pressure and excretory renal function response to
operation.
Secondary operative repair was considered complicated in more
than half of these patients. In all, four nephrectomies were required.
Branch renal artery reconstruction was required in two thirds of
patients. Hypertension after operative repair for failed PTRA was
cured in 7%, improved in 50%, and considered unchanged in 43%.
Compared with patients treated by operative repair only, operative
management following failed PTRA was associated with blood
pressure benefit (57% vs. 89% benefited [P <0.001]).
Summary
With proper patient selection, operative repair of atherosclerotic
renovascular disease results in both improved blood pressure
and renal function. Improvement in renal function is associated
with a significant increase in dialysis-free survival independent
of all other covariates. The application of intraoperative duplex
ultrasonography to assess renal artery reconstruction results in
long-term primary patency exceeding 96%. However, when failure of operative repair occurs, eventual renal function is worsened, culminating in an increased risk of dialysis dependence
and death.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting
offers blood pressure benefit similar to operative repair for nonostial atherosclerotic lesions of the main renal artery. However,
cumulative data for ostial lesions associated with ischemic
nephropathy suggest that PTRA with or without endoluminal stenting yields inferior renal function benefit. The common practice
of reporting unchanged renal function as “preserved” or “stabilized” after renal artery intervention may be misleading. Patients

For these reasons, the authors recommend open operative repair of bilateral ostial atherosclerosis and renal artery occlusion associated with severe hypertension and renal insufficiency
