Résumé
In patients with renal artery stenosis, revascularization was seen as a mean to improve outcomes, but large studies failed to show significant benefit in general population. However, data on benefits of renal artery stenting in patients with high-risk features, such as rapidly declining renal function and cardiac destabilization syndromes, are limited, as they were excluded from trials. In this descriptive study, we aimed to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes in high-risk patients with renal artery stenosis, treated by angioplasty and stenting. We have retrospectively interrogated our local databases for renal artery percutaneous interventions; patients at high-risk (rapidly declining renal function; stable chronic renal failure and bilateral renal artery disease; severe hypertensive crisis) were selected for the current analysis. Of 30 patients undergoing renal artery stenting, 18 patients were deemed "high-risk." On short term, good in-hospital control of hypertension and cardiac stabilization were obtained in all patients. Renal function improved significantly only in patients admitted with rapidly declining renal function, with significant creatinine level fall from median 3.98 mg/dL to 2.02 mg/dL, p = 0.023. However, for the whole group, creatinine change was non-significant (- 0.12 mg/dL, p = NS). On the long term, five patients (27.8%) ended-up on chronic hemodialysis and six patients died (33.3%) after a median of 20 months. No death occurred during the first year after the procedure. Percutaneous procedures are feasible and safe in patients with high-risk renal artery stenosis, especially in those with rapidly declining renal function, probably saving some of them from the immediate need for renal replacement therapy, but long-term results are negatively influenced by the precarious general and cardio-vascular status of these patients and by the pre-existing significant renal parenchymal disease, non-related to the renal artery stenosis.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
In patients with renal artery stenosis, revascularization was seen as a mean to improve outcomes, but large studies failed to show significant benefit in general population. However, data on benefits of renal artery stenting in patients with high-risk features, such as rapidly declining renal function and cardiac destabilization syndromes, are limited, as they were excluded from trials. In this descriptive study, we aimed to evaluate short- and long-term outcomes in high-risk patients with renal artery stenosis, treated by angioplasty and stenting. We have retrospectively interrogated our local databases for renal artery percutaneous interventions; patients at high-risk (rapidly declining renal function; stable chronic renal failure and bilateral renal artery disease; severe hypertensive crisis) were selected for the current analysis.

RESULTS
Of 30 patients undergoing renal artery stenting, 18 patients were deemed "high-risk." On short term, good in-hospital control of hypertension and cardiac stabilization were obtained in all patients. Renal function improved significantly only in patients admitted with rapidly declining renal function, with significant creatinine level fall from median 3.98 mg/dL to 2.02 mg/dL, p = 0.023. However, for the whole group, creatinine change was non-significant (- 0.12 mg/dL, p = NS). On the long term, five patients (27.8%) ended-up on chronic hemodialysis and six patients died (33.3%) after a median of 20 months. No death occurred during the first year after the procedure.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Percutaneous procedures are feasible and safe in patients with high-risk renal artery stenosis, especially in those with rapidly declining renal function, probably saving some of them from the immediate need for renal replacement therapy, but long-term results are negatively influenced by the precarious general and cardio-vascular status of these patients and by the pre-existing significant renal parenchymal disease, non-related to the renal artery stenosis.
