Abstract
The main goal in the treatment of obstructive atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is to preserve or recover renal function. The ARVD kidney continues to deteriorate in 20-40% of cases despite restoration of blood flow. Holden et al. report that renal function stabilized or improved in up to 97% of patients with the use of a distal embolic protection device.Entities:
