Hyperperfusion injury is a rare but critical complication associated with revascularization for long-standing severe artery stenosis. Here we report a rare case of a patient with renal hyperperfusion injury after undergoing percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty for renovascular hypertension as a sequela of neuroblastoma after radiation therapy.

Project description:BackgroundRenovascular 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).MethodsData 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.ResultsMean 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%) lesions, without surgery-related complications. At a median of 7.5 (range, 3-14) months, restenosis occurred in 6 (16.7%) patients and 7 (16.3%) lesions (all ostial and 6 with a length >15 mm), yielding a clinical beneficial rate from first PTRA of 83.3%. At 18- and 20-month follow-up the mean kidney length (29 kidneys) increased from 8.89±1.55 to 9.79±1.51 cm (P<0.001) and mean GFR (34 kidneys) from 32.28±19.22 to 41.24±13.24 mL/min (P<0.001).ConclusionsIn this retrospective analysis, PTRA for the treatment of pediatric RVH can achieve satisfactory results. Angioplasty was associated with improved BP control and long-term preservation of renal function, as reflected by an increase in affected kidney size and a higher GFR.

Project description:Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is associated with high rates of coronary events and predicts mortality among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the impact of coronary atherosclerosis on renal outcomes after revascularization of ARVD is unclear. We hypothesized that CAD negatively impacts renal functional outcomes among patients with ARVD undergoing renal artery revascularization.Patients with ARVD who underwent echocardiography at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA between 2004 and 2012 were identified retrospectively and included if they had ejection fraction more than 50%. Renal and overall outcomes were compared among atherosclerotic renovascular disease patients with coronary artery disease (ARVD-C, n?=?75) and without coronary artery disease (ARVD, n?=?56), within 1 year from initial revascularization and included blood pressure control, renal function, and incident cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events.Degree of renal artery stenosis was similar in both groups. ARVD-C had higher prevalence of diabetes, peripheral artery disease (PAD), and cerebrovascular disease, and lower baseline renal function. Risk of developing end-stage renal disease was higher in ARVD-C (11 vs. 2%, P?=?0.05). Despite better control of blood pressure and cholesterol levels, renal function postrevascularization worsened in 15% of ARVD-C compared with 2% of ARVD (P?=?0.01). Differences in clinical outcomes remained statistically significant after adjustment for covariables, including sex, baseline blood pressure, renal function, underlying diabetes, cholesterol levels, and medications. Similar differences in clinical outcomes were also associated with PAD and cerebrovascular disease.CAD in patients with ARVD is a predictor of worse outcomes after renal revascularization, likely reflecting diffuse atherosclerotic disease. Further studies are needed to develop strategies to manage patients with vascular comorbidities and improve their outcomes.

Project description:Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT₂R) counteracts most effects of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R). We hypothesized that direct AT₂R stimulation reduces renal production of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and enhances the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) in the clipped kidney of 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C) hypertension rat model. We used Sprague-Dawley rats to evaluate changes in renal interstitial fluid recovery levels of TNF-α, IL-6, NO, and cGMP; renal expression of AT₁R, AT₂R, TGF-β1, TNF-α, and IL-6 in sham and 2K1C rats treated for 4 days with vehicle, AT₂R agonist compound 21 (C21), or AT₂R antagonist PD123319 (PD), alone and combined (n=6, each group). Systolic blood pressure increased significantly in 2K1C and was not influenced by any treatment. Clipped kidneys showed significant increases in renal expression of AT₁R, AT₂R, TNF-α, IL-6, TGF-β1 and decreases in NO and cGMP levels. These factors were not influenced by PD treatment. In contrast, C21 caused significant decrease in renal TNF-α, IL-6, TGF-β1 and an increase in NO and cGMP levels. Combined C21 and PD treatment partially reversed the observed C21 effects. Compared to sham, there were no significant changes in TNF-α, IL-6, TGF-β1, NO, or cGMP in the nonclipped kidneys of 2K1C animals. We conclude that direct AT₂R stimulation reduces early renal inflammatory responses and improves production of NO and cGMP in renovascular hypertension independent of blood pressure reduction.

Project description:Previous data suggest that renal afferent nerve activity is increased in hypertension exerting sympathoexcitatory effects. Hence, we wanted to test the hypothesis that in renovascular hypertension, the activity of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons with afferent projections from the kidneys is augmented depending on the degree of intrarenal inflammation. For comparison, a nonhypertensive model of mesangioproliferative nephritis was investigated. Renovascular hypertension (2-kidney, 1-clip [2K1C]) was induced by unilateral clipping of the left renal artery and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis (anti-Thy1.1) by IV injection of a 1.75-mg/kg BW OX-7 antibody. Neuronal labeling (dicarbocyanine dye [DiI]) in all rats allowed identification of renal afferent dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. A current clamp was used to characterize neurons as tonic (sustained action potential [AP] firing) or phasic (1-4 AP) upon stimulation by current injection. All kidneys were investigated using standard morphological techniques. DRG neurons exhibited less often tonic response if in vivo axonal input from clipped kidneys was received (30.4% vs. 61.2% control, p < 0.05). However, if the nerves to the left clipped kidneys were cut 7 days prior to investigation, the number of tonic renal neurons completely recovered to well above control levels. Interestingly, electrophysiological properties of neurons that had in vivo axons from the right non-clipped kidneys were not distinguishable from controls. Renal DRG neurons from nephritic rats also showed less often tonic activity upon current injection (43.4% vs. 64.8% control, p < 0.05). Putative sympathoexcitatory and impaired sympathoinhibitory renal afferent nerve fibers probably contribute to increased sympathetic activity in 2K1C hypertension.

Project description:IntroductionRenovascular hypertension (RVH) remains underdiagnosed despite its significant cardiovascular and renal morbidity.AimThis survey investigated screening and management practices for RVH among hypertensive patients in Italian hypertension centres in a real-life setting. Secondary, we analysed the current spread of renal denervation (RDN) and the criteria used for its eligibility.MethodsA 12 item-questionnaire was sent to hypertension centres belonging to the European Society of Hypertension and to the Italian Society of Hypertension (SIIA) in Italy. Data concerning the screening and management of RVH and of RDN were analysed according to the type of centre (excellence vs non-excellence centres), geographical area and medical specialty.ResultsEighty-two centres participated to the survey. The number of patients diagnosed in each centre with RVH and fibromuscular dysplasia during the last five years was 3 [1;6] and 1 [0;2], respectively. Despite higher rates of RVH diagnosis in excellence centres (p = 0.017), overall numbers remained unacceptably low, when compared to expected prevalence estimates. Screening rates were inadequate, particularly among young hypertensive patients, with only 28% of the centres screening for RVH in such population. Renal duplex ultrasound was underused, with computed tomographic angiography or magnetic resonance angiography reserved for confirming a RVH diagnosis (76.8%) rather than for screening (1.9-32.7%, according to patients' characteristics). Scepticism and logistical challenges limited RDN widespread adoption.ConclusionsThese findings underscore the need for improving RVH screening strategies and for a wider use of related diagnostic tools. Enhanced awareness and adherence to guidelines are crucial to identifying renovascular hypertension and mitigating associated cardiovascular and renal risks.

Project description:ObjectiveFor patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), the role of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) remains inconclusive. This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the benefits of best medical therapy (BMT) plus PTRA and BMT alone in treating ARAS.MethodsWe performed a systematic review and meta-analysis, and searched for all randomized, controlled trials that reported patients with ARAS. The effectiveness and safety in the BMT plus PTRA and BMT alone groups were estimated, taking into account hypertension, stroke, renal events, cardiac events, and mortality.ResultsNine randomized, controlled trials involving 2309 patients were included. In the BMT plus PTRA group, the incidence of refractory hypertension was significantly lower compared with that in the BMT alone group (odds ratio 0.09; 95% confidence interval 0.01, 0.70). However, there were no significant differences in the rates of stroke, renal events, cardiac events, cardiac mortality, and all-cause mortality between the two groups.ConclusionsPTRA plus BMT improves blood pressure in patients with ARAS, but there is insufficient evidence for this therapy in improving stroke, renal events, cardiac events, and cardiac and all-cause mortality.

Project description:Renal artery stenosis and renovascular hypertension are important considerations in patients with hypertension that is difficult to control. The diagnosis may also have prognostic significance for progressive renal disease. The most common causes of renal artery stenosis are atherosclerotic disease and fibromuscular dysplasia. The pathophysiology of renal artery stenosis is reviewed, and the pros and cons of various imaging studies in the appropriate clinical setting are discussed. Treatment includes aggressive control of hypertension, dealing with associated cardiac risk factors, and angioplasty or surgery in specific circumstances.

Project description: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 and ELOS. A sum of 517 patients underwent PTRA. Most prevalent comorbidities were peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease and dyslipidemia. On multivariate analysis, comorbidities significant for predicting major complications were end-stage renal disease, chronic liver disease, heart failure and coagulable disorders whereas comorbidities significant for predicting ELOS were age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, anemia, chronic heart failure, and coagulable disorders. As we continue to identify the ideal candidates for PTRA, it is important to consider the comorbidities that predispose these patients to increased periprocedural complications and ELOS.

Project description:A 23-year-old female patient with factor VII (FVII) deficiency was admitted with severe hypertension and renal failure. Brachial arterial pressures were 230/120 and 220/115 mm/Hg on the right and left arms, respectively. There was no blood pressure difference between the arms. Renal artery Doppler ultrasonography revealed bilateral severe renal artery stenosis (RAS). Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging angiography (CE-MRA) revealed severe mural irregularities, contrast enhancement in the aorta and its branches, and long-segment stenosis starting in the abdominal aorta and extending into the proximal renal arteries. The diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis (TA) complicated by RAS in a patient with FVII deficiency was established. This is the first case of concomitant TA and factor VII deficiency in the literature. In conclusion, TA complicated with RAS should be kept in mind in the etiology of secondary hypertension, even when there is no blood pressure difference between the arms in patients. CE-MRA is an accurate, sensitive, and safe imaging method for diagnosing vasculitis, even in the early phases of the disease, and should be considered for evaluating the activity and response to treatment in patients with TA.

Project description:Partial stenosis of the renal artery causes renovascular hypertension (RVH) and is accompanied by chronic renal ischemia, resulting in irreversible kidney damage. Revascularization constitutes the most efficient therapy for normalizing blood pressure (BP) and has significant benefits for renal function; however, the tissue damage caused by chronic hypoxia is not fully reversed. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have produced discrete results in minimizing RVH and renal tissue and functional improvements since the obstruction persists. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of administration of MSCs in combination with renal artery revascularization in rats subjected to RVH. The following groups were evaluated: control (SHAM), hypertensive (2K-1C), hypertensive treated with MSCs (MSC), hypertensive subjected to revascularization (REV), and hypertensive subjected to revascularization and treatment with MSCs (REV + MSC). The animals were followed up for 10 weeks. The animals in the MSC group received cell infusions at the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th weeks. In the REV and REV + MSC groups, the clip was removed by the 6th week (revascularization), and in the REV + MSC group, MSCs infusion was performed at the 6th and 8th weeks. Tail systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured weekly, and histological parameters and renal function were evaluated at the end of the protocol. The clipped animals developed RVH, deterioration of total renal function (50% decrease in creatinine clearance), and significant proteinuria (15x increase). Treatment with MSCs had no detectable beneficial effects on kidney function or SBP. REV resulted in normalization of BP and a significant but partial reduction in proteinuria (80% vs. 2K-1C), but areas with renal fibrosis persisted. The combination of the two treatments was effective at normalizing all renal parameters as well as reversing proteinuria, reducing the number of ischemic glomeruli and atrophic tubules, indicating an improvement of the renal parenchyma. The results suggest that therapy with MSCs associated with revascularization can potentially help in the full recovery of renal function in the long term in patients with RVH.
