Predictors of complications and extended length of stay following percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty.

ABSTRACT: Patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS) who fail medical management may be evaluated for Percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty/stenting (PTRA/S). Comorbidities increasing the risk of complications following PTRA have not been explored well. Patients undergoing PTRA/S for RAS were sampled using National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database. Demographics, length of stay (LOS), and comorbidities were gathered using ICD-10 codes. Complications included heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, major bleeding, stent thrombosis, renal artery dissection/embolism, aortic dissection/rupture and atheroembolism. Extended length of stay (ELOS) was defined as LOS >4 days. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictors for complications an
