For a period of over a decade, from the advent of bare-metal stents, culminating with the triumph of drug-eluting stents, interventional cardiology had a virtually unbroken winning streak. However, in 2006,… View more

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a common manifestation of atherosclerotic disease. Although the exact prevalence rate for the population as a whole is unknown, RAS is seen in a significant proportion of patients who present with another manifestation of atherosclerosis (Table 1).1–7 Despite this high degree of prevalence, the management of RAS, specifically the role of revascularisation, remains… View more
