Why the study?
Does percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty reduce office and home blood pressure and blood pressure variability in hypertensive patients with renal artery stenosis?
Does percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty reduce office and home blood pressure and blood pressure variability in hypertensive patients with renal artery stenosis?
Renal angioplasty significantly reduces office and home blood pressure and BP variability in hypertensive patients with renal artery stenosis, with greater morning home systolic BP reductions seen in those with fibromuscular dysplasia.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Angioplasty was associated with BP reductions in renal artery stenosis; leaves open etiology-specific effects and need for randomized confirmation.
Iwashima et al. (2016) studied this question.
