Clinical Trial: Revascularization of Renal Artery Stenosis Versus Medical Therapy for the Treatment of Ischemic Nephropathy

Study Status: Completed

Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Phase 4 Study of Medical Therapy Versus Medical Therapy Plus Renal Artery Stenting in Preventing the Progression of Renal Failure in Atherosclerotic Renovascular Disease

Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to value, in patients with chronic kidney disease and hypertension, whether medical therapy plus interventional renal artery revascularization is superior to medical therapy alone for the treatment of hemodynamically significant (>70%) atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, diagnosed by duplex doppler ultrasonography and confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography, in terms of avoidance of the progression of renal damage, control of hypertension and in reducing the cerebro and cardiovascular complications.
