The diagnosis and management of atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is complex
and controversial. Despite evidence from the ASTRAL (2009) and CORAL (2013) …

Atherosclerotic renovascular disease is the most frequent cause of renovascular
hypertension and its prevalence increases with age and in specific subset of patients, such …

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) can cause secondary hypertension,
progressive decline in renal function, and cardiac complications. Recent randomized …

Renovascular hypertension (RVH) is one of the most common causes of secondary
hypertension and can result in resistant hypertension. RVH is associated with an increased …

Renal angioplasty and stenting (PTRAs) resolves renal artery stenosis, but inconsistently
improves renal function, possibly due to persistent parenchymal damage. We developed a …

Objectives Magnetization transfer imaging is a novel noninvasive tool for the detection of
kidney fibrosis, but its association with kidney function and hemodynamics is unclear …
