Outcomes Between Single-and Duo-Renal Artery Stenosis Patients Undergo Interventional Therapy

As a revelative common vascular disease and a major cause ofhypertension, renal artery stenosis has been studied in many reseachers.Surgical as well as medical method used to be the main ways to fix that disease,regardless their side effects. Since the revolutionary progression of interve-ntional radiology, physicians finally get a totally new way to deal with thosepatients, with what they thought a better prognosis.However, lately a lot of studies show a quite different result, which is theeffect of interventional therapy may be overwhelming amplified. As a matter offact, medicine can just do the same. But we noticed almost all of theseresearches failed to seperated those patients into different groups as the severityof the disease. Here comes the question: does it matter? We decided to find out.We collected data from recent patients, and put them into two differentgroups, single renal artery stenosis and duo-renal artery stenosis, measured byblood pressure and GFR, we want to know weather there are differencesbetween them.Result: there is no differences between those groups, neither bloodpressure nor GFR. Yet our study is still not perfect, lact of long term data, andthe shortage of patients number, further studies are needed, but at least for now,we failed to see any differences between them.
