relativelyfrequentfinding,particularlyintheolderpopulationwhomayhaveconcomitantatherosclerotic disease in other vascular distributions. Yet most structural renovascular disease that may be visible angiographically does not cause hypertension (renovascular hypertension) or renal ischemia as large angiographicserieshavedemonstrated,withrecentmajortrialevidenceshowingthatoptimizedmedical therapy rather than mechanical intervention may be appropriate in most cases. However, a subset of individuals who have resistant hypertension,1 advancing renal dysfunction (especially with bilateral disease),2orflashpulmonaryedemashouldbeidentifiedandtreatedbyrevascularization.

II.AnatomicConsiderations
Inmostcases,thereisasinglerenalarterybilaterally(typically5-7mmdiameter),withoriginsattheL1­L2leveloftheaorta,eachdividingintosegmental,lobar,interlobar,arcuate,andinterlobularbranches.

In a minority ofcases, anatomic variationsmayincludedualrenalarteries,accessoryrenalarteries,or early segmental branching renalarteries.5Whenthe main renalartery is occluded,potential collateral sources(intercostal,lumbar,internaliliac,andadrenalarteries)mayprovideimmediateviabilitybutnot long-termpreservationoffunctioningrenalmass.

III.PathophysiologicFactorsandNaturalHistory
A.SystemicHypertensionCausedbyRenovascularDisease
The mechanism of systemic hypertension caused byrenovascular disease was firstelucidated in 1934 through Goldblatt’s experimental renal artery clamping models7 and is founded upon reduced renal perfusionpressureleadingtoactivationoftherenin-angiotensinsystemwithconsequentreleaseofserum renin and angiotensin II. Renin is released in response to diminished perfusion pressure at the juxtaglomerularapparatusoftheafferentrenalarteriolesandinresponsetoreducedsodiumandchloride deliverytothemaculadensasegmentoftheascendingloopofHenle.8Inturn,systemicvasoconstriction, sympathetic activation, and aldosterone-mediated depression of sodium excretion with consequent volumeexpansionwillfollow.
B.PulmonaryCongestion
1.Thesepathologicadaptationscanpromotesuddenpulmonarycongestion(flashpulmonaryedema)and
mayexacerbate myocardial ischemiain vulnerable individuals.Locally, efferentarteriolar constriction governedbyreleaseofangiotensinIIactsasacompensatoryresponsefavoringcontinuedrenalperfusion and explains why in the setting of significant bilateral disease (or unilateral disease in a uninephric individual),therewillbeariseinserumcreatininewhenantihypertensivepharmacologicinhibitorsofthe renin-angiotensinsystemareused.Ontheotherhand,whenunilateraldiseaseispresent,inhibitorsofthe renin-angiotensin system may be very useful in controlling hypertension (caused by activation of the renin-angiotensinsysteminrenovascularhypertension),withoutariseinserumcreatinine,providedthat thecontralateralkidneyishealthyandthatfunctionalrenalmassispreserved.

C.LateRenalIschemiaandDysfunction
https://t.me/med1917
Itisinterestingtoconsiderthatlaterenalischemiaanddysfunctionmaybefoundeduponseveralfactors beyond simple reduced arterial blood flow, given that the kidney has relatively minimal oxygen requirements.
10,11
Theseextraischemicfactorsmayencompassdirecthypertensiveinjurytobothischemic
and unaffected kidney, distal atheroembolic phenomena, and the generation of angiotensin II–based profibroticmediators(transforminggrowthfactor-beta[TGF-β],nuclearfactor-kB,andplatelet-derived growthfactor[PDGF]).
4,12,13
Restoringrenalarterybloodflowalonethroughreliefofstenosismaynotbe
enoughtoreversemanyoftheselatechanges.

D.AtheroscleroticRenovascularDisease
1.Theprogressivenatureofatheroscleroticrenovasculardiseaseisunderscoredbyseveralseriesthat
showed significant rates of progression of stenosis as well as occlusion by angiography or duplex ultrasound:progressionin44%ofindividualsandocclusionin16%at4years,15progressionin11%of individualsat2.6years,16andprogressionin35%ofindividualsat3yearsand52%at5years(49%at 3yifthebaselinestenosiswas>60%).
17
2.Untreatedseverediseasewithreducedrenalbloodflowmayleadtotheischemiclossoffunctioning
renalmass and hasbeenlinkedtogreaterdegreeofstenosisandhigherblood pressure.18In asecond series,at1yeartherewasatleasta1.0cmreductioninkidneysizein13%ofsubjectswithunilateral diseaseandin43%ofsubjectswhohadbilateraldisease.
19
3. Overall, renovasculardiseaseisamarkerforpoor long-term outcomes,
20
withfarworse five-year
survival in a recently surveyed community congestive heart failure cohort when compared with those subjectsfreeofrenovasculardisease.
21
IV.ClinicalPresentations
A.Literature
Themedicalliteraturesupportsasignificantassociationbetweenrenovasculardisease(typicallydefined as structural anatomic lesions greater than 50% stenosis diameter) and classical Framingham atherosclerotic riskfactors (smoking,diabetes, hyperlipidemia, age), as well as aortic and peripheral vasculardisease(38%)andcoronaryarterydisease(6.3%-23%),witha7%prevalenceofrenovascular diseaseinthegeneralolderpopulation.
3,4,22,23
Acorrelationhasbeennotedbetweenrenovasculardisease
andtwo-tothree-vesselcoronaryarterydisease.24Longitudinalstudiessupporttheprogressivenatureof renovasculardiseaseasnotedabove,especiallywhenlesionsareinitiallyfoundtobesevere,butithas been pointed out correctly that most of these retrospective as well as prospective series predate the inceptionofidealmedicaltherapies(aspirin,clopidogrelandothernovelantiplateletcompounds,statins, modern antihyperglycemic agents, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitors) and lifestyle interventions (diet andweightcontrol, exercise, sodium restriction,andsmoking cessation).4 This observation also shedslight on why optimizedmedical therapy has proved equallyeffectiveas revascularization in the most recent randomized prospective trials.25 Presence and severity of renovascular disease is also associatedwith all-causelong-term mortality, likelyreflecting theadverse implications of generalized systemicatheroscleroticvasculardisease.
26
B.Population
Thetrueprevalenceofrenovascularhypertensionis less than 1%inthe generalpopulationbutmaybe muchhigherinstatesofresistanthypertension

orinthepresenceofothersuggestiveclinicalfeatures
https://t.me/med1917
listedbelow(7.3%of837ofsuchpatientshadatleasta70%stenosisofoneorbothrenalarteries).
30,31
Clinical indicators of physiologically significant renovascular disease include (1) multidrug-resistant hypertension
1,32
ormalignanthypertension(GradeIIIorIVKeith-Wagenerretinalchanges[hemorrhages
andexudates,papilledema,respectively]havebeenassociated)orthe rapid acceleration ofpreviously well-regulated hypertension,33 (2) disparity in renal size or the presence of an atrophic (ischemic) kidney,(3)riseinserumcreatininefollowingadministrationofinhibitorsoftherenin-angiotensinsystem (suggestingbilateraldiseaseorunilateraldiseaseinsinglekidney),or(4)suddenunexplainedpulmonary edemaormedicallyrefractoryanginapectoris.Onsetofhypertensionataveryyoungoraveryoldage mayalso provide acluetosignificant renovasculardisease (Table8.1). The finding ofa systolic and diastolicabdominalbruitradiatingtotheflankmaybeofcontributoryinterest,yetasaphysicalsignlacks highsensitivityorspecificityforthediagnosisofphysiologicallysignificantrenovasculardisease.

V.AtheroscleroticRenovascularDisease
A. It is estimated that atherosclerotic disease underlies renal artery stenosis in 90% of cases.
27
Nonatheroscleroticcauses,themostfrequentbeingfibromusculardysplasia,arereviewedbelow.Inmost cases, the presence of structural atherosclerotic renovascular disease is not the cause of hypertension (renovascular hypertension) or ischemia of the kidney, and historically most catheter-based revascularizations that were performed without goodevidencefavoring truerenovascularhypertension did not afford benefit.34 In parallel with this observation, recent trial evidence, presented below, indicatesthatpatientswhohavewellcontrolledhypertensionandnormalrenalfunctionshouldbetreated conservatively.Yetresistanthypertension,flashpulmonaryedema,orprogressiverenalimpairmentwith renal ischemia (especially in the context of bilateral disease), may require revascularization, thus improvingclinicalmanagementandpreventingtheneedforrenalreplacementtherapy.
35,36
B. Because there is considerable clinical overlap among states of (1) essential hypertension, (2)
renovascularhypertension,(3)anatomic renalarterystenosis,(4)diabetic nephropathy,and(5)chronic renalimpairment,methodsofassessingthefunctionalsignificanceofanatomicrenalarterydiseasewill assumeimportance,asnotedbelow.
37,38
Alternatively,althoughproteinuriaisafeatureinmanyformsof
renaldiseaseincludingischemia,renaldiseaseunrelatedtostenosismaybereflectedinanactiveurinary sediment(typicallyacellularinthesettingofrenalischemia).
4,39
Additionally,elevatedcreatinineinthe
settingofunilateral stenoticdisease suggestsnonstenotic etiologiesbecausea single remaining healthy contralateral kidney thatiswell perfused willmaintaina normalcreatininevalue.27However,a rapid riseinserumcreatininemayportendabetterresultpostrevascularization,suggestingreversibility.
4,33
Of
note, a group of investigators has reported a 24% prevalence of severe atherosclerotic renovascular
https://t.me/med1917
diseaseinend-stagerenaldiseasepatientsbeingconsideredfordialysis.

VI.NonatheroscleroticRenovascularDisease
A.FibromuscularDysplasia
1.Themostcommoncauseofnonatheroscleroticrenovasculardiseaseisfibromusculardysplasia,often
seeninyoungerwomenwhoarehypertensiveyetotherwisefree ofclassic atheroscleroticriskfactors. One-thirdofcasesofrenalarteryfibromusculardysplasiaarebilateral,andthereisafamilialcomponent aswellasageneticassociationwithpolymorphismsoftherenin-angiotensinsystem,specificallyhigher frequencyoftheangiotensin-convertingenzyme(ACE)Iallele.41Ithasbeenproposedthat,becausethis allele is linkedtolower circulating levels of angiotensin-convertingenzymeandpossibly lowertissue levels of angiotensin II (which regulates vascular smooth muscle growth and synthetic activity), the presence of the I allele may foster abnormal remodeling of the arterial media thus promoting fibromusculardysplasia.
41
2.Unliketheatheroscleroticlesionwhichclassicallyinvolvestheaortaandostiumandproximalrenal
artery,afibromusculardysplasticstenosistendstoshowabeadedappearance(reflectingthetissuewebs or baffles thatrestrictblood flow), and resides inthedistal two-thirds of themain renalarteryor its principalbranches42(Fig.8.1).

3. Asdistinctfrom atherosclerotic renovascular disease, fibromuscular dysplasia rarelyprogresses to
total occlusion or ischemic nephropathy. In addition to predilection for young females, fibromuscular dysplasticrenovasculardiseasehasbeenlinkedtotobaccoconsumption,alpha-1antitrypsindeficiency, useofergotamine ormethysergide,pheochromocytoma, typeIVEhlers-Danlossyndrome,cysticmedial necrosis, Alport syndrome, neurofibromatosis, and coarctation of the aorta.43 This species of renovasculardisease respondswell tosimpleballoonangioplastyandexhibitsdurable results,without theneedforintra-arterialstentplacement44(Figs.8.18.3).

regimenandgoodpreservationofrenalfunction.
B.OtherRareNonatheroscleroticFormsofRenovascularDisease
Other rare nonatherosclerotic forms of renovascular disease include vasculitis, neurocutaneous syndromes such as neurofibromatosis, Takayasu arteritis, aneurysms, congenital or posttraumatic arteriovenous fistulae, congenital bands, postradiation changes, spontaneous dissection, thromboembolization (typically cardiac in origin, from atrial fibrillation), atheroembolization, steal syndromeinthesettingofceliacaxisocclusion,orthevascularcompressiveeffectsoflargerenalcysts, pheochromocytoma, retroperitoneal fibrosis, or posttraumatic external scarring (Page kidney).
37,45
Regarding renal artery thromboembolization, there is scant experience reported in the literature describingcatheter-basedtechniquesforrenalreperfusion,forinstancelocalthrombolysis.Posttransplant renal vasculopathy, often appearing within 1 year of transplant, presents with renal impairment, hypertension,andcirculatorycongestionandisbestmanagedwithangioplastyandstenting.
46
VIIDiagnosticExaminations
When clinical presentation is strongly suggestive of functionally significant renovascular disease, noninvasiveassessmentisindicated,withseveralmethodseachharboringadvantagesanddisadvantages.
https://t.me/med1917
A.RenalDuplexUltrasound
Renalduplexultrasoundisusefulwhengoodacousticwindowsareavailableinleanerindividuals.When performedwelltechnicallyandinterpretedinacompetentmanner,thismethodcandefinekidneysizes, charttheprogressionoflossofrenalmass, estimatethedegreeofechogenicityoftherenalcortex,and illustrate the condition of the distal microvasculature. A physiologically significant stenosis may be reflectedbyapeaksystolicvelocityof>200cm/sandarenalartery/aorticpeaksystolicvelocityratioof
3.5.47Renal resistive index (peak systolic velocity−end diastolic velocity/peaksystolic velocity) can demonstrate the degree of microvascular resistance and may predict benefit of revascularization. However, threshold values have not yet been fully defined in the literature,42 although 0.80 conventionallyhasbeentheupperlimitofnormal.Highervaluessuggestdistalmicrovasculardiseaseand havebeenlinkedwithfailuretoimproveclinicallyfollowingmainarteryrevascularization.
48
B.CaptoprilRenalArteryScintigraphy
Captopril renal artery scintigraphyuses nuclear perfusionassessments before and after ACEinhibitor stimulationtodeterminewhetherarterialflowisdependentonefferentarteriolarvasoconstrictionunder theinfluenceofangiotensinII,thereforeconfirmingthatfunctionallysignificantrenovascularhypertension is present.49 When comparing two kidneys, abnormal unilateral function may identify significant renovasculardiseaseandpredictimprovementfollowingrevascularization.50However,whilespecificity ishigh,sensitivitymaynotbeadequate,particularlyincasesofbilateraldisease(orunilateraldiseasein a single kidney) or low glomerular filtration rate. There is little role for previous methods such as intravenouspyelographyormeasurementofplasmareninactivity.Earlystudiesindicateapromisingrole forassaysofbrainnatriureticpeptide(BNP,orB-typenatriureticpeptide)inpredictingbloodpressure responsepostrevascularization.
51
C.Angiography
1. CT angiography may provide useful images, but radiation burden and nephrotoxic radiocontrast
exposurerepresentconcerns.Moreover,thistechniquemayfailtodistinguishintraluminalstenosisfrom extravascularcalcification.42Stenosisof>75%(or50%withpoststenoticdilatation)maybeconsidered significant.
2.MRangiographyisprobablythemostusefulcontemporarytechnique,requiringnoradiation,although
thereisafalsepositiverate.Astenosisof>80%maybeviewedassignificant.However,itsgadolinium contrastagentmustbeusedwithgreatcautionwhenrenaldiseaseispresentgiventheriskofdevelopment ofnephrogenic systemic sclerosis. Questions also surround the significanceoflong-term depositionof gadoliniuminboneandbraintissue.
3. Invasive renal vein sampling for renin measurement has suboptimal sensitivity and specificity,
althoughlateralizingvaluespredicttreatmentresponse.
4. Percutaneous renal angiography carries the risks of any invasive catheter-based procedure
(bleeding, infection, embolization, vessel or kidney damage, radiation exposure, radiocontrast requirement),yetprovidesexcellentimages,ishighlysensitiveandspecificforthedepictionofvascular stenosis,permitsimmediatephysiologicassessments,andallowsballoonorstentrevascularizationinthe same setting. Angiography is, however, relatively low risk and serves as the gold standard for visualizationoftherenalarteries. Femoral artery access is most commonly used, butupper extremity (radial or brachial artery) can be employediftheoriginoftherenalarteryisangulatedinferiorly42orifthereismajorinfrarenalaortoiliac
https://t.me/med1917
disease (Fig.8.1). Nonselective abdominal aortography performed at the T12-L1level uses a pigtail catheter with power injection using dilute radiocontrast and digital subtraction angiography.47 The nonselective view elucidates the presence and number of renal arteries, as well as important aortic conditionssuchasprotrudingatheroscleroticplaquethatcouldinterferewithsubsequentselectiverenal angiography.
42,47
Withadvancedrenalimpairment,carbondioxidemayactsafelyasacontrastmedium.
5.Intermsofangiographicviews,selectiverenalarteryangiographymayrequireaslightdegreeofleft
anteriorobliqueangulationgiventheanteriororiginoftherightrenalarterythatisslightlysuperiortothe orificeoftheleftrenalartery,arisingmoreposteriorly.4Fromthefemoral approach,catheter selection mayincludeinternalmammary(Fig.8.1),JR4,cobra,renaldoublecurve,hockeystick,multipurpose,or SOSOmni.
42,47
Viaupperextremityapproaches,a90-cmlong6For7Fvascularsheathmayproveuseful,
throughwhicha5For6Finternalmammaryartery,multipurpose,orJR4cathetercanbeadvancedtothe orificeoftherenalartery.
D.DiscoveryofStenosis
1. If a stenosis is discovered, determination of physiologic or functional significance may be useful
because there is a limited correlation between angiographic severity and functional significance, particularly in the case of fibromuscular dysplasia.38 Simple measurement of translesional pressure gradientmaybeuseful(Fig.8.4)yetisnotfullyinformative,however,becauseitdoesnotconsiderother variablessuchasaorticpressure,cathetercaliber,potentialvasoconstrictedconditionofthedownstream renal vasculature, and the ambient renal venous pressure (which could be elevated in many states, including congestive heart failure)4 (Fig. 8.2). Translesional measurements can be accomplished by placinga4Fcatheterdistaltothestenosis,comparedagainsta6or7Fguidingcatheter,whichwouldbe locatedproximaltothestenosis.Becauseofitssmallersizeandthereforelesserpropensitytoincrease artificiallythemeasuredgradient,a0.014pressurewiremaybepreferablehere.33Ithasbeensuggested thatameantranslesionalgradientof10mmHgorapeak-to-peaksystolicgradientof20mmHgshould beconsideredsignificantforintervention.
