Abstract
This study aims to observe and analyze the clinical efficacy of interventional therapy for patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA) experiencing renovascular hypertension (RH). Eight TA patients with RH underwent percutaneous transluminal renal artery stenting (PTRAS). Patients were followed up 1, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively for levels of blood pressure, number of antihypertensive drugs being taken, levels of serum creatinine, and the presence of renal artery restenosis. All 8 patients were successfully followed up 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, but 1 was lost to follow-up at 24 months. All patients had significantly lower average blood pressure levels compared with those at baseline (P < 0.05); treatment efficacy rates (recovery or improvement) at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months were 94%, 90%, 80%, and 80%, respectively. The average number of antihypertensive drugs being taken was 3.5 at baseline, 1.0 at 1 month, 0.5 at 6 months, 1.0 at 12 months, and 1.5 at 24 months. Serum creatinine levels during the follow-up period were not significantly different from those at the baseline. No patient developed renal artery restenosis during the follow-up period. PTRAS is a safe and effective treatment for TA-associated RH, with a hi...Continue Reading
