Abstract
Background: There is controversy on the influence of renal artery stenosis on outcome in patients with peripheral artery disease. Patients and Methods: The 12-month impact of renal artery stenosis on declining renal function, control of hypertension, and incidence of major cardiovascular events in 100 consecutive patients undergoing angiography for peripheral artery disease was evaluated. Results: A total of 60 patients had renal artery stenosis: 32 mild, 16 moderate, and 12 severe stenosis. There were no significant differences in either the decline of renal function (2.7 ± 18% vs 0.9 ± 16%), control of hypertension (139 ± 16 vs 139 ± 22 mm Hg) or number of antihypertensive drugs (1.8 ± 1.0 vs 1.6 ± 0.8). Patients with renal artery stenosis had an increased incidence of major cardiovascular events (odds ratio: 2.3; 95% confidence interval: 1.03-5.4), but on multivariate analysis its influence disappeared. Conclusions: Patients with peripheral artery disease having renal artery stenosis had similar decline of renal function and control of hypertension. They had an increased incidence of major cardiovascular events, but it may be explained by the confounding effect of additional variables.

Abstract
In patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD), mortality is high and renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a frequent incidental finding. RAS carries a high risk for mortality, but whether incidentally discovered RAS is a risk factor for mortality is unknown. The prognostic impact of incidental RAS for mortality was studied in 550 consecutive patients who underwent intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography for PVD in a single center between 1997 and 2000. In 491 patients (336 men, 155 women; mean follow-up 3.8 +/- 1.9 yr), the renal arteries were visualized and follow-up data were available. RAS (diameter reduction > 50%) was present in 26% of the patients. Mortality in the RAS group was 59 versus 28% in the non-RAS group (odds ratio 3.8; 95% confidence interval 2.5 to 5.7; P < 0.0001). Diabetes, previous myocardial infarction, history of PVD, stroke, and hypertension were more frequent in the RAS group; age was higher and GFR was lower in the RAS group. Therefore, RAS was associated with elevated mortality and increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. Cox regression analysis showed that RAS was an independent predictor for mortality (P = 0.005), along with age, diabetes, smoking, previous myocardial infarction, history of PVD, and stroke. In patients who were evaluated for PVD by digital subtraction angiography, mortality was high. Incidental RAS was a frequent finding and an independent predictor for mortality. Whether RAS is a marker for or, alternatively, a mediator of the poor prognosis and whether prognosis can be improved by specific intervention should be the subject of future prospective studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To define a subgroup of patients at increased risk of renal artery stenosis (RAS) in a population of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 467 patients (mean age of 64 Years +/-11) underwent cardiac catheterization and aortography Results were evaluated to detect correlations between the presence or absence of RAS and clinical and biological parameters. RESULTS A total of 42 (9%) patients had a renal artery stenosis. Univariate analysis defined parameters correlated with the presence of RAS: systolic blood pressure (p=0.03), pulse pressure (p=0.005), age (p<0.0001), creatinine clearance (p<0.0001), 2-vessel (p=0.028) and 3-vessel (p=0.037) coronary artery diseases. Multivariate analysis showed that the presence of RAS correlated to creatinine clearance (p=0.02) and 2-vessel coronary artery disease. A creatinine clearance between 30 and 60 ml/min and multi-vessel coronary artery disease defined a subgroup at increased risk of RAS with sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of: 47.6, 90.1, 32.3 and 94.6%. The prevalence of renal artery stenosis was 5.2% when both parameters were absent. CONCLUSION Patients with mild renal insufficiency and multi-vessel coronary artery disease defined a subgroup of patients at increased risk of RAS (32.5%) that may benefit from abdominal aortography performed at the time of cardiac catheterization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is associated with high cardiovascular mortality and significant clinical complications, including resistant hypertension and ischemic nephropathy. Despite availability of endovascular revascularization techniques, determining which patients should undergo revascularization and the timing of the procedure still are controversial. Several studies have reported a higher frequency of the DD genotype of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene in patients with RAS, and one study found higher mortality in patients with the DD genotype. Material and methods We retrospectively studied 100 patients with documented atherosclerotic RAS and evaluated long-term (median follow-up, 28 months) mortality, blood pressure control, and renal function in relation to the ACE genotype and two therapeutic strategies, that is, endovascular treatment with percutaneous renal transluminal angioplasty or stenting (ET group) versus conservative drug therapy (CT group). RESULTS Comparison between therapeutic groups showed a higher cumulative probability of survival (86.7% vs 67.1%), better blood pressure control (57.4% vs 29%), and slower decline in renal function (17.9% vs 48.4%) in the ET group. The DD genotype was strongly represented in our study patients (DD, 50%; II, 15.5%; I/D, 34.5%), but bore no relation to mortality, blood pressure control, decline in renal function, or rate of recurrent stenosis. CONCLUSIONS Conservative medical treatment of RAS, compared with endovascular treatment, is associated with higher mortality, poorer blood pressure control, and impaired renal function over the long term. Early endovascular treatment enables amelioration of this unfavorable evolution. The DD genotype does not predict clinical outcome of RAS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine outcome and identify predictors of death after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAA) repair, renal artery bypass (RAB), and revascularization for chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). PATIENTS AND METHODS In this retrospective analysis, data were obtained from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a 20% all-payer stratified sample of hospitals in the United States during 1993 to 1997. Patients were identified by the presence of a diagnostic or procedure code from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM). The main outcomes we examined were death, ICD-9-CM -based complications, length of stay, hospital charges, and disposition. A multivariate model was constructed to predict death. RESULTS A total of 2934 patients were identified (TAA, 540; RAB, 2058; CMI, 336) in the database. The mean age was comparable (TAA, 69 +/- 9 years; RAB, 66 +/- 12 years; CMI, 66 +/- 11 years), but the breakdown between the sexes varied by procedure (male: TAA, 53%; RAB, 55%; CMI, 24%). The mortality rate (TAA, 20.3%; RAB, 7.1%; CMI, 14.7%), complication rate (TAA, 62.2%; RAB, 37.4%; CMI, 44.6%), and the percentage of patients discharged to another institution (TAA, 21.2%; RAB, 9.3%; CMI, 12.0%) were clinically significant for all procedures. The mortality rate for RAB was greater when performed concomitant with an aortic reconstruction (4.4% vs 8.3%). All three procedures were resource intensive as reflected by the median length of stay (TAA, 14 days; RAB, 9 days; CMI, 14 days) and median hospital charges (TAA, $64,493; RAB, $36,830; CMI, $47,390). The multivariate model identified several variables for each procedure that had an impact on the predicted mortality rate (TAA, 14%-76%; RAB, < 1%-46%; CMI, < 2%-87%). CONCLUSIONS The operative mortality rates across the United States for patients undergoing TAA repair and RAB are greater than commonly reported in the literature and mandate reexamining the treatment strategies for these complex vascular problems.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the association between incidentally discovered renal artery stenosis and deterioration of renal function as determined by the change in serum creatinine concentration over time. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent aortography for aortoiliac vascular disease. Angiograms were reviewed for renal artery stenosis, defined as a narrowing of at least 20% compared with adjacent normal renal artery. For patients with at least 180 days of subsequent follow-up, the change in serum creatinine concentration per year was compared in patients who had or did not have renal artery stenosis. RESULTS Of the 201 patients, 96 (48%) had some degree of renal artery stenosis in one or both renal arteries, including 53 (26%) who had at least one stenosis > or= 50% and 40 (20%) who had bilateral stenoses. The only clinical predictor of renal artery stenosis was a history of coronary artery disease (odds ratio = 2.0, 95% confidence interval: 1.2 to 3.8, P = 0.001). Among the 174 patients with > or =180 days of follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference (P = 0.88) in the mean change in serum creatinine concentration per year in the 78 patients with renal artery stenosis (0.06+/-0.33 mg/dL per year) as compared with the 96 patients without renal artery stenosis (0.06+/-0.22 mg/dL per year). Grouping the patients by the maximal percentage of stenosis did not reveal any difference in the mean changes in serum creatinine concentration per year. CONCLUSIONS Although renal artery stenosis is a common incidental finding in patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease, it is an uncommon cause of progressive renal disease.

Abstract
Associated stenosis of one or both renal arteries is not uncommon in patients with infrarenal aortic disease (aneurysm or occlusive disease) requiring surgical repair. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the short- and long-term outcome of concomitant renal artery and aortic reconstruction. The present series includes 39 consecutive concomitant procedures. Simultaneous aortic and renal artery reconstruction was performed in a total of 39 (7.2%) of the 540 patients who underwent elective infrarenal abdominal aortic repair between 1987 and 1996. There were 33 men and 6 women with a mean age of 66.7 years. Twenty-eight patients presented hypertension and 7 presented renal insufficiency associated with hypertension. In all cases, the indication for operative treatment was aortic disease, i.e., aortic aneurysm in 20 cases and occlusive aortoiliac disease in 19 cases. A total of 51 renal artery revascularization procedures were performed, including bypass in 40 cases, transposition in 7, and endarterectomy in 4. Combined aortic and renal artery reconstruction gives good short- and long-term results comparable to those of isolated aortic surgery. On the basis of these findings, we think that concomitant repair is the strategy of choice for patients presenting renal artery stenosis associated with infrarenal aortic disease requiring surgical therapy.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis typically occurs in high-risk patients with coexistent vascular disease elsewhere. Patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis may develop progressive renal failure but have a much higher risk of dying of stroke or myocardial infarction than of progressing to endstage renal disease. Recent controlled trials comparing medication to revascularization have shown that only a minority of such patients can expect hypertension cure, whereas trials designed to document the ability of revascularization to prevent progressive renal failure are not yet available. Revascularization should be undertaken in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis and resistant hypertension or heart failure, and probably in those with rapidly deteriorating renal function or an increase in plasma creatinine levels during angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition. With or without revascularization, medical therapy using antihypertensive agents, statins, and aspirin is necessary in almost all cases.
