Albertal M et al. – Male patients and patients with poor baseline renal function showed an important benefit with PRI, suggesting that it is not too late for renal revascularization if properly indicated.

Exclusive Author Commentary
M. Albertal, 09/17/09

Our study aim was to evaluate the impact of gender and baseline renal function on the long-term renal function. We found that male patients and patients with baseline renal dysfunction did improve after renal angioplasty, whereas female counterparts did worse after angioplasty, had more frequently worsening of renal function. The present study is a retrospective view of rather small size population and we can only suggest that further outcome analysis of female patients undergoing renal artery angioplasty in a larger population is warranted in order to define the role of the procedure according to gender.
