Two patients with renal artery involvement in type B dissection of the aorta were treated by percutaneous stent implantation. Both of them were hypertensive and showed increasing serum creatinine levels. After stent implantation in the renal arteries blood pressure and renal function improved, and the renal arteries were patent in duplex ultrasound 15 and 30 months after treatment respectively.

Abstract Background It is little known about predictors of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure or renal function (eGFR) improvement in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) undergoing stent-assisted angioplasty (PTA). Therefore, we aimed to build a prediction scores that would indicate characteristics of patient subsets with ARAS most likely to have clinical improvement following PTA. Methods 201 patients who underwent PTA for ARAS (2003–2018) were categorized as eGFR or SBP/DBP responders based on eGFR increase of ≥11 ml/min/1.73m2, decrease of SBP ≥20mmHg and DBP ≥5mmHg at 12-months following PTA. The remaining patients were classified as non-responders. The performance of logistic regression models were evaluated by basic decision characteristics. Continuous data have been transformed into binary coding with help of operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Predictive models have been constructed for each followed by construction of predictive models in each of 3 categories. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that: baseline SBP>145 mmHg, DBP >82 mmHg, previous myocardial infarction and Renal-Aotric-Ratio >5.1 were independent influencing factors of SBP response, with relative risk percentage shares of 69.8%; 12.1%; 10.9%; and 7.2%, respectively (sensitivity: 82%, specificity: 86.3%, positive (PPV):82% and negative (NPV) predictive values: 86.3%). The DBP decrease prediction model included baseline SBP >145 mmHg and DBP >82 mmHg, the ARAS progression, index kidney length >106 mm, and bilateral PTA with respective shares of 35.0%; 21.8%; 18.2%; 13.3% and 11.8%. (sensitivity: 76%, specificity: 77.8%, PPV: 80.7% and NPV: 72.6%). The eGFR increase was associated with baseline serum creatinine >122 μmol/L but eGFR greater than 30 ml/min/1.73m2, index kidney length >98 mm, end-diastolic velocity in index renal artery, renal resistive index <0.74, and requirement for >3 BP medications, with respective shares of 24.4%; 24.4%; 21.2%; 15% and 15% (sensitivity: 33.3%, specificity: 93.5%, PPV: 65.6% and NPV: 78.9%). Conclusions Current study identified clinical characteristics of patients who most likely to respond to PTA for ARAS. The sutability of the score should be verified in a prospective cohort of patients referred to PTA of ARAS Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background and Aims Inherited thrombophilia can be defined as a genetically determined predisposition to develop thromboembolic complications. Inherited prothrombotic risk factors include antithrombin deficiency, protein C and protein S deficiencies, activated protein C resistance due to Leiden factor V mutation, inherited hyperhomocysteinemia, prothrombin G20210A variant, dysfibrinogenemia and elevated factor VIII levels. Method We report the case of a patient with history of bilateral renal artery stenosis who presented with renal artery bypass thrombosis related to an inherited thrombophilia. Results We report a case of 40-year-old male patient who presented with extremely high blood pressure and hypokalemia without other biological abnormalities. The duplex ultrasound showed bilateral renal stenosis with chronic occlusion of the right renal artery and a tight stenosis of the left renal artery estimated at 50%. Renal angiography confirmed the bilateral stenosis, associated to a small right kidney. Renal scintigraphy with DMSA showed normal left renal function and right renal function estimated at 2%. The therapeutic decision was to perform an aorto-renal bypass surgery by the saphenous vein.After renal artery bypass the blood pressure improved markedly, maintaining this result at 12 months follow-up at clinical examination and duplex ultrasound. One year later, the patient presented with high blood pressure. The duplex ultrasound showed a stenosis of the bypass with a double stenosis of the left aorto renal bypass on renal angioscanner. The patient underwent angioplasty of the venous bridge with implantation of 2 stents with improvement of blood pressure after angioplasty. Six months later, the patient presented an unbalanced blood pressure, the ultrasound control with a vascular Doppler showed a stenosis at the stent. The antihypertensive treatment was increased, a thrombophilia balance was requested concluding a combined protein C and protein S deficiency. Conclusion An etiological assessment should be carried out systematically in the event of thrombosis occurring before the age of 40 or in the case of iterative venous or arterial thrombosis. A genetic study where appropriate and a family screening are then recommended.

In the structure of arterial hypertension, primary aldosteronism (РА) ranges from 5 to 15%. Changes in intrarenal hemodynamics are due to both high blood pressure and direct aldosterone level. The purpose of the study was to analyze the results of PA treatment according to ultrasound doppler scanning of renal arteries. In general, 55 patients with PA were treated. Renal arteries duplex scanning before and after the treatment was performed in 20 patients. During treatment, the normalization of Vps, Ved, S/D, PI, PI, AT, TAMX indices was recorded in patients. The RI of the interlobar arteries slightly increased, however, it remained within the reference range. The reduction of aldosterone levels led to increase of TAMX index at the level of the renal artery trunk, S/D, RI and decrease in AT at the level of the segmental arteries, as well as increase of Ved and S/D at the level of the interlobar arteries.

We searched for an association between changes in blood pressure (BP) at 12 and 24 months after renal denervation (RDN) and the different patterns of ablation spots placement along the renal artery vasculature. We performed a post-hoc analysis of a 24‐month follow‐up evaluation of 30 patients who underwent RDN between 2011 and 2012 using our previous database. Patients who had (i) resistant hypertension, as meticulously described previously, and (ii) Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 2, 3 and 4. Correlations were assessed using the Pearson or Spearman correlation tests as appropriate. The mean change in systolic ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) compared to baseline was –19.4 ± 12.7 mmHg at the 12th (p < 0.0001) and –21.3 ± 14.1 mmHg at the 24th month (p < 0.0001). There was no correlation between the ABPM Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)-lowering effect and the total number of ablated spots in renal arteries (17.7 ± 6.0) either at 12 (r = –0.3, p = 0.1542) or at 24 months (r = –0.2, p = 0.4009). However, correlations between systolic BP-lowering effect and the number of ablation spots performed in the distal segment and branches were significant at the 12 (r = –0.7, p < 0.0001) and 24 months (r = –0.8, p < 0.0001) follow-up. Our findings indicate a substantial correlation between the numbers of ablated sites in the distal segment and branches of renal arteries and the systolic BP-lowering effect in the long-term.

Objectives. We sought to assess acute changes in systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics and microscopic artery lesions following extended renal artery denervation (RDN). Background. RDN has been proposed to reduce sympathetic nervous system hyperactivation. Although the effects of RDN on systemic circulation and overall sympathetic activity have been studied, data on the impact of RDN on pulmonary hemodynamics is lacking. Methods. The study comprised 13 normotensive Landrace pigs. After randomization, 7 animals were allocated to the group of bilateral RDN and 6 animals to the group of a sham procedure (SHAM). Hemodynamic measures, cannulation, and balloon-based occlusion of the renal arteries were performed in both groups. In the RDN group, radiofrequency ablation was performed in all available arteries and their segments. An autopsy study of the renal arteries was carried out in both groups. Results. The analysis was performed on 12 pigs (6 in either group) since pulmonary thromboembolism occurred in one case. A statistically significant drop in the mean diastolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was detected in the RDN group when compared with the SHAM group (change by 13.0 ± 4.4 and 10.0 ± 3.0   mmHg , correspondingly; P = 0.04 ). In 5 out of 6 pigs in the RDN group, a significant decrease in systemic systolic blood pressure was found, when compared with baseline ( 98.8 ± 17.8 vs. 90.2 ± 12.6   mmHg , P = 0.04 ), and a lower mean pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) ( 291.0 ± 77.4 vs. 228.5 ± 63.8   dyn ∗ sec ∗ c m − 5 , P = 0.03 ) after ablation was found. Artery dissections were found in both groups, with prevalence in animals after RDN. Conclusions. Extensive RDN leads to a rapid and significant decrease in PAP. In the majority of cases, RDN is associated with an acute lowering of systolic blood pressure and PVR. Extended RDN is associated with artery wall lesions and thrombus formation underdiagnosed by angiography.
