Effect of Suprarenal Stent Struts on the Renal Artery with Ostial Calcification Observed on CT Virtual Intravascular Endoscopy

Abstract

Suprarenal stent struts did not significantly affect the renal ostia with ostial calcification in terms of the diameter measurements and renal function. Further studies deserve to investigate the long-term effect of stent struts on the renal artery in terms of cross-sectional area reduction caused by stent wires and ostial calcification.

Colour-Doppler US evaluation of patients with hypertension and nephropathy

“…In addition, our findings point to a close association between the presence of AAA and RAS and confirm the need for close collaboration between the vascular surgeon, the interventional radiologist and the nephrologist in planning the most appropriate treatment approach in these patients with associated diseases [26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…Our experience highlights the association between AAA and RAS, an important factor for vascular surgeons and angiographers considering endovascular treatment for aortic aneurysms and for selecting the most appropriate strategy when the two diseases coexist [26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…La nostra esperienza mette in risalto l'associazione fra la patologia aneurismatica dell'aorta addominale e la stenosi dell'arteria renale, dato sicuramente molto importante per il chirurgo vascolare e per l'angiografista, alla luce del trattamento endovascolare degli aneurismi aortici e sulla scelta strategica più opportuna in presenza contemporanea delle due patologie [26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…I nostri dati mettono inoltre in risalto un'elevata associazione fra la presenza dell'AAA e la SAR: questo vuole riconfermare l'utilità di una stretta collaborazione fra il chirurgo vascolare, il radiologo interventista e il nefrologo nel programmare la strategia terapeutica più opportuna in questi pazienti con patologia associata [26][27][28][29][30].…”

Coronary CT Angiography: Quantitative Assessment of Coronary Plaques

“…By acquiring volumetric CT data after contrast enhancement in a single breath-hold, it is possible to render 3D images of vascular structures that simulate images obtained from conventional endoscopy/angioscopy. VIE images of the normal arterial anatomy as well as pathological changes such as calcification, arterial stenosis, aneurysm, and intraluminal thrombus can be visualized in a way that may enhance diagnostic capability compared with conventional 2D or 3D visualization methods [91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102].…”
