Dilatation of experimental renal artery stenosis by balloon catheter. 1981

L Ekellund, and N Jonsson, and E Lindstedt, and H Stridbeck, and S B Lundquist

An experimental model has been developed in the pig in order to evaluate the effect of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty on fibrous renal artery stenosis. Stenoses were induced by bilateral subtotal ligation with chromic catgut. Six weeks following ligation unilateral transluminal dilatation was performed in 9 pigs using Grüntzig balloon catheters. In only one case a serious complication occurred with rupture of the renal artery. Seven pigs with dilated stenoses were re-examined by angiography 8 to 10 weeks after dilatation. In 6 cases the stenoses were practically completely eliminated while in one cases a re-stenosis developed. Microscopy of the dilated arteries revealed several small and large ruptures of th internal elastic membrane.

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).

D002404 Catheterization Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions. Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
D004106 Dilatation The act of dilating. Dilation,Dilatations,Dilations
D000800 Angioplasty, Balloon Use of a balloon catheter for dilation of an occluded artery. It is used in treatment of arterial occlusive diseases, including renal artery stenosis and arterial occlusions in the leg. For the specific technique of BALLOON DILATION in coronary arteries, ANGIOPLASTY, BALLOON, CORONARY is available.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
