Background The vertebral artery (VA) ostium (VAO) is a common stenosis site. Most patients with VAO stenosis refractory to medical treatment are treated endovascularly using stenting. To optimally ...

Renal artery stenosis is the narrowing of one or both blood vessels to the kidneys. The renal arteries bring blood from the heart to the kidneys to help filter waste and remove excess bodily fluid.

In these situations, it’s known as renal glycosuria. Read on to find out how to recognize glycosuria, how it’s diagnosed, and more. Glycosuria is typically caused by an underlying condition ...

There is no easy way to unclog an artery once plaque has built up. However, dietary choices, exercise, and avoiding smoking can improve cardiovascular health and stop blockages from worsening.

This cross-sectional study, spanning from December 2020 to December 2021, delves into the prevalence and risk factors of carotid artery stenosis and plaque across China. Involving 194,878 adults ...

A new Intermountain Health study finds that peripheral artery disease, a condition that affects more than 10 million Americans over the age of 40, is often underdiagnosed and undertreated ...
