Two-stent strategy for renal artery stenosis with bifurcation lesion.
Summary of "Two-stent strategy for renal artery stenosis with bifurcation lesion."
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) with a bifurcation lesion is a challenge for interventional therapy. The aim of this study is to summarize our experience in RAS with a bifurcation lesion. Five patients with RAS involving bifurcation lesion are described. In cases 1 to 3, a single-stent strategy was first adopted. However, these three patients were converted to a two-stent strategy for bailout stent implantation in the side branches. In cases 4 and 5, a simultaneous kissing stent technique was performed. Angiography showed that the reference vascular diameter of the main branch was much larger than those of the side branches. Although obvious residual stenosis existed in cases 1 to 3 after stent implantation, no obvious residual stenosis was seen in cases 4 and 5. Renal artery duplex sonography was performed in cases 1 through 5 at 6, 7, 7, 8, and 6 months, respectively, after the procedures. No evidence of restenosis or occlusion was seen. In conclusion, stent implantation with the simultaneous kissing stent technique may result in more simple and more satisfactory immediate angiographic results.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Posterior Cerebral Artery
Artery formed by the bifurcation of the BASILAR ARTERY. Branches of the posterior cerebral artery supply portions of the OCCIPITAL LOBE; PARIETAL LOBE; inferior temporal gyrus, brainstem, and CHOROID PLEXUS.
Renal Artery Obstruction
Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR).
Anterior Cerebral Artery
Artery formed by the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery (CAROTID ARTERY, INTERNAL). Branches of the anterior cerebral artery supply the CAUDATE NUCLEUS; INTERNAL CAPSULE; PUTAMEN; SEPTAL NUCLEI; GYRUS CINGULI; and surfaces of the FRONTAL LOBE and PARIETAL LOBE.
Angioplasty, Balloon
Use of a balloon catheter for dilatation of an occluded artery. It is used in treatment of arterial occlusive diseases, including renal artery stenosis and arterial occlusions in the leg. For the specific technique of balloon dilatation in coronary arteries, ANGIOPLASTY, TRANSLUMINAL, PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY is available.
Mesenteric Artery, Inferior
The artery supplying nearly all the left half of the transverse colon, the whole of the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, and the greater part of the rectum. It is smaller than the superior mesenteric artery (MESENTERIC ARTERY, SUPERIOR) and arises from the aorta above its bifurcation into the common iliac arteries.
