A 74-year-old man had a resistant hypertension with an increase in plasma aldosterone and active plasma renin levels, and an irregular appearance of the left kidney outline by ultrasound. The CT ...

Retrograde Pyelogram Revealing Morphologically Normal Right and Left Kidneys. An aortogram (Fig. 3) showed a normal left renal artery and normal blood supply to the left kidney.

SAN DIEGO, CA—Renal denervation using ultrasound may be more effective than radiofrequency ablation for lowering blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension, a preliminary head-to-head ...

Her renal artery ultrasound revealed significant right sided stenosis. Her cardiac catheterization revealed severe 3-vessel coronary artery disease and moderate mitral regurgitation.

Abdominal colour Doppler ultrasound and CT showed fibromuscular dysplasia of the right renal artery consisting of multiple stenoses and 2 cm saccular aneurysm in the left renal hilum.

The heart weighed 480 gm, and was enlarged to the left. The left ventricle was thickened up to 3.0 cm., the myocardium being firm, homogeneous and somewhat pale on the cut surface.

The Paradise uRDN system delivers two to three doses of 360-degree ultrasound energy — lasting seven seconds each — through the main renal arteries to the surrounding nerves.

The study shows that the condition, known as renal artery stenosis, only progresses to a dangerous blockage in a very small percentage of cases and does not always necessitate a surgical or even ...

We often consider a coronary drug-eluting stent in renal lesions <4.5 mm in size, since the renal artery size was the number one indicator of target lesion revascularization in our series.

Over time, if left alone, calcium will accumulate around soft plaque as a response to the inflammation leading to “calcified” arteries. Soft plaque is active and when measures are taken to stop the ...
