Cardiovascular outcomes improve in children with renovascular hypertension following endovascular and surgical interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renovascular hypertension (RenoVH) is a cause of hypertension in children. A common cause of RenoVH is renal artery stenosis which acts by reducing blood supply to renal parenchyma and activating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, often leading to cardiac remodelling. This longitudinal observational study aims to describe occurrence of cardiovascular changes secondary to RenoVH and also any improvement in cardiac remodelling after successful endovascular and/or surgical intervention.

Methods

All patients with RenoVH referred to our centre, who received ≥ 1 endovascular intervention (some had also undergone surgical interventions) were included. Data were collected by retrospective database review over a 22-year period. We assessed oscillometric blood pressure
