Outcomes of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty for pediatric renovascular hypertension: a 12-year retrospective single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renovascular disease underlies 5-10% of all childhood hypertension. We evaluated the long-term outcomes of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) for pediatric renovascular hypertension (RVH).

Methods

Data from 37 children with RVH who underwent PTRA of 45 lesions at our center from January 2010 to January 2022 were retrospectively evaluated. Postoperative blood pressure (BP), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), affected kidney size, restenosis, and complications were analyzed.

Results

Mean age, weight, and height of patients at first PTRA was 11.51±4.57 (range, 3-17) years, 45.37±22.29 (range, 13.40-106.00) kg, and 1.46±0.26 (range, 0.92-1.85) m, respectively. Technical success was achieved in 33 of 37 (89.2%) patients and 40 of 45 (88.9%) lesion
