Abstract :

R enal artery stenosis is a finding whose prevalence is highly dependent on the population that is being studied. Nonetheless, even in those with significant peripheral vascular disease, a finding of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis may not necessarily warrant interventional treatment. Unfortunately, the treatment of these lesions remains unclear with the available randomized trials and meta-analyses. This lecture will discuss and attempt to provide clarity for the evaluation and management of renal arterial stenosis in the context of the current evidence-based data and most recent treatment guidelines
