The first renal artery balloon angioplasties were performed by Felix Mahler in Berne and Andreas Grüntzig in Zurich in 1977 using self-made, bulky, coaxial balloon catheters.1,2 Until the beginning of the 1990s, balloon angioplasty was the only method of percutaneous treatment of renal artery stenosis (RAS) with satisfying acute and long-term results for angioplasty of stenoses caused by…

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…

Distinct hypertensive syndromes causing drug-resistant hypertension are increasingly being recognised. The ability to recognise these disorders has come as a result of a better understanding of their pathogenesis and the availability of sensitive and accurate diagnostic tools. The particular appeal of making the diagnosis centres around the potential curability of the hypertension, with…

Atherosclerosis is a generalised disease and contributes to cardiac death, stroke, limb loss and a range of other illnesses. Disease in the major arteries, including the infra-renal abdominal aorta, internal iliac arteries, renal arteries and peripheral vasculature, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. For example, the prevalence of disease in the infra-renal abdominal aorta ranges…

Catheter-based vascular interventions continue to evolve as new devices continue to expand the capabilities of interventionalists and improve patient safety. The importance of athero-embolisation during vascular intervention has long been recognised.1 Embolic protection devices (EPDs) were developed to help prevent embolisation during endovascular procedures. The risk of distal embolisation is…

With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional…
