The right renal artery is occluded just after its ostium (white block arrow), and the left renal artery has a severe proximal stenosis (white arrow).

Endovascular ultrasound for renal sympathetic denervation appears to be a safe and effective treatment option among patients with therapy-resistant hypertension who do not respond to ...

Renal-artery stenosis may occur alone (isolated anatomical renal-artery stenosis) or in association with hypertension, renal insufficiency (ischemic nephropathy), or both.

New results from a clinical trial testing a novel ultrasound therapy for hypertension show the experimental treatment can deliver clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure. The treatment ...

Ultrasound renal denervation injures the sympathetic neurons within the renal artery that contribute to elevated blood pressure.

Ablating the sympathetic nerves in accessory renal arteries might help enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of renal denervation, a study of tissues from human cadavers suggests. Though ...

Patients referred for renal artery ultrasound typically have blood pressure that has grown more difficult to control or have declining kidney function.

Ultrasound renal denervation for patients with triple-therapy resistant hypertension successfully lowered 24-hour ambulatory BP compared with those who underwent a sham procedure, a speaker reported.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) reveals a diseased aorta, a high-grade ostial lesion of the left renal artery that is consistent with atherosclerotic stenosis, and a normal right renal artery.

Patients referred for renal artery ultrasound typically have blood pressure that has grown more difficult to control or have declining kidney function.
