AbstractAtherosclerosis accounts for 90% of the cases of renal artery stenosis. It is an important cause of secondary arterial hypertension by means of inducing the renin-angiotensin system, volume expansion, and sympathetic activation. Despite high procedural success rate of renal artery stenting, clinical trials have shown an inconsistent outcome about improvement in hypertension. The accurate predictors identify the good indication for renal artery stenting is clinically needed. Currently, the presence of hemodynamically critical stenosis causing renal ischemia, the presence of symptoms with undoubtedly benefit from revascularization, and the assessment of procedural risk are key factors for decision making about indication of renal artery stenting.
