QoL and PROMS Following Percutaneous and Surgical Intervention for Renal Artery Disease

Isolated renal artery intervention is performed in adults mainly for atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. Indications for treatment include acute ischaemic nephropathy, transplant renal artery stenosis and multi-drug resistant severe hypertension, particularly in the setting of a solitary functioning kidney.There is limited data on QoL and PROMS after renal artery intervention. Outcomes for these may be better for those who have fibromuscular dysplasia as the driving pathology and who undergo successful endovascular treatment, particularly if dialysis would otherwise have been imminent, and if side effects from antihypertensive agents are severe.
