Renal artery stenosis (RAS), hypertension and renal insufficiency (RI) are each frequently present especially in the elderly population. RAS is often present without any clinical signs or symptoms and even when hypertension or renal insufficiency are also present, they may be coincidentally rather than causally related. However, when RAS is hemodynamically or physiologically significant, it is one of the few potentially reversible causes of RI and hypertension.The challenge for physicians is to identify patients with RAS who would benefit from renal revascularization, whether by interventional techniques or open surgery. RAS is often clinically silent, at least until it becomes hemodynamically significant when it can produce renal vascular hypertension (RVH) or RI.Downloads
