Key result

Operation for renal artery stenosis resulted in 18.75% mortality (12 deaths), showing no long-term difference compared to medical treatment to counterbalance immediate postoperative deaths.

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Renal artery stenosis surgery carries high perioperative mortality without long-term survival gain over medical therapy; leaves open whether contemporary techniques benefit selected patients.

Study Design

Type

Cohort (n=128)

PICO

Population

128 patients (64 operated for renal artery stenosis and 64 matched medically treated patients with essential hypertension) followed for 1 to 10 years.

Exposure / Comparator

Operation for renal artery stenosis vs Medical treatment

Primary Outcome

Mortality

Limitations

Demonstrable atherosclerosis implies a higher risk for occlusive vascular disease in other areas, irrespective of the careful matching procedure.

Kjellbo et al. (1970) conducted a cohort in Renal artery stenosis and hypertension (n=128). Operation for renal artery stenosis vs. Medical treatment was evaluated on Mortality. Operation for renal artery stenosis resulted in 18.75% mortality (12 deaths), showing no long-term difference compared to medical treatment to counterbalance immediate postoperative deaths.
