Clinical features, management, and prognosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection

TL;DR: Although in-hospital mortality is low regardless of initial treatment, percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with high rates of complication, and the need for close follow-up is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibromuscular dysplasia

TL;DR: The most common clinical manifestations of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) are hypertension due to renal artery involvement and transient ischemic attack or stroke due to carotid or vertebral artery involvement.

Renal-Artery Stenosis

TL;DR: The goals for treating patients with RAS are to reduce cardiovascu-lar morbidity and mortality attributable to elevated arterial pressure and to preserve renal function beyond critical stenosis and to identify progressive occlusive disease and to determine appropriate timing for vascular intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of Doppler ultrasonography to predict the outcome of therapy for renal-artery stenosis

TL;DR: A renal resistance-index value of at least 80 reliably identifies patients with renal-artery stenosis in whom angioplasty or surgery will not improve renal function, blood pressure, or kidney survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty in renovascular hypertension due to atheroma or fibromuscular dysplasia.

TL;DR: Renal angioplasty is effective for long-term control of hypertension in patients with renal-artery stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia or unilateral non-ostial atheroma.
Journal ArticleDOI

The utility of duplex ultrasound scanning of the renal arteries for diagnosing significant renal artery stenosis.

TL;DR: The utility of duplex ultrasound scanning of the renal arteries is determined for identifying patients with renal artery stenosis of 60% or more and for excluding patients with either normal renal arteries or renal arteriography of less than 60%.
