Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty was performed in 202 patients with 250 stenoses. The procedure was successful in 201 of 250 (83%). Results were better for postostial atherosclerotic lesions (94%), fibromuscular lesions (83%), and transplant kidneys (71%) than for ostial atherosclerotic lesions (29%). Of all the patients, 61% had reduced blood pressures following the procedure, with cure (diastolic blood pressure less than or equal to 90 mm Hg) in 31% of the patients. Cure rate with a mean follow-up of 25.8 +/- 19.4 months was 21% in bilateral atheromatous lesions, 30% in unilateral atheromatosis, 65% in unilateral fibromuscular disease, and 40% in bilateral fibromuscular dysplasia. Of the transplanted patients, 60% were cured. Complications occurred in 23 (11%) of the patients. Recurrence of stenoses occurred in 16 lesions (8%), 80% within the first year after the procedure.

D012078 Renal Artery Obstruction Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR).

D005260 Female Females
D005352 Fibromuscular Dysplasia An idiopathic, segmental, nonatheromatous disease of the musculature of arterial walls, leading to STENOSIS of small and medium-sized arteries. There is true proliferation of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS and fibrous tissue. Fibromuscular dysplasia lesions are smooth stenosis and occur most often in the renal and carotid arteries. They may also occur in other peripheral arteries of the extremity.
