A CHF Patient Properly Managed by Virtue of PCI & Bilateral Renal Arteries Stenting
- Operator: Woo-Young Chung, MD
Clinical presentation
The patient was presented with recently aggravated dyspnea on exertion. He had the history of PCI due to AMI and right upper lobectomy due to lung cancer. His coronary risk factors were hypertension and dyslipidemia. Chest X-ray had not any active lung lesion. Echocardiography showed severe hypokinesia of anterior and anteroseptal wall with moderate LV dysfunction (EF=44%). Laboratory finding showed azotemia (serum creatinine 2.0mg/dL) and NT-proBNP elevation (12248pg/mL).
Baseline coronary angiogram
1. Left coronary angiogram showed tubular 80-90% narrowing at mid LAD and tubular 50-60% narrowing at proximal LCX with patent previous distal LCX stent (Figure 1, Figure 2).
2. Right coronary angiogram showed diffuse 40-50% narrowing at proximal RCA (Figure 3).
3. Abdominal aortography showed bilateral 80-90% narrowing of renal arteries (Figure 4).
Procedure
A 7F sheath was inserted through the right femoral artery, and the left coronary ostium was engaged with a 7F, JL 4 catheter. The LAD was wired with a 0.014 inch Floppy wire. And then predilation of mid LAD was achieved with Ryujin balloon (2.5mm ¡¿ 12mm) (Figure 5, Figure 6). A Taxus stent (3.0mm x 16mm) was deployed at the mid LAD (Figure 7, Figure 8). Final coronary angiogram showed well-expanded stent without residual narrowing (Figure 9).
2 days later, renal angioplasty was done. A 8F sheath was inserted through the left femoral artery, and the renal artery ostium was engaged with a 8F, RDC catheter (Figure 10, Figure 11). The both renal arteries were wired with a 0.35 Exchange wire. Predilatation was performed with a Ultra balloon (5.0mm x 20mm) at proximal left renal artery (Figure 12). Then a Express stent (6.0mm x 27mm)was implanted left renal artery (Figure 13, Figure 14) and additional balloon with a Ultra balloon (6.0mm x 20mm) (Figure 15). The right renal artery lesion was treated a Genesis stent (7.0mm x 24mm) implantation (Figure 16, Figure 17, Figure 18, Figure 19). Final angiogram showed good result (Figure 20, Figure 21).

  • Andrey Maltsev 2007-03-31 Very interesting case, thank you and congratulations! Did renal angioplasty improved left ventricular function? How severe was the hypertension? Did patient¡¯s blood pressure changed after renal intervention? If yes, how soon? Thank you.
  • javed ali khan 2007-04-02 congratulation,(1)please clarify me do you leave the proximal part of the stent in aortic lumen or stent starts just at the ostium. in case proximal part remains in aorta do you overdilate it with high pressure balloon or leave it like this? (2) is there any role of DES in renal artery stenting?(3) what is the treatment of branch renal artery stenosis, is angioplasty possible in that? if yes what are the long term result? thanks
  • Mehdi Shahriayri Afshar 2007-04-04 very good,i have some question:in case of bilateral renal artery pci ,resteonsis in both sides is very critical although is seems to be rare so how can follow and find this possibility?how can manage this issue?thank you so much.
  • iancu adrian 2007-04-09 congratulation/ please tell me about creatinine after renal stenting and do you think that is it a cardio renal syndrome?
  • Mariappan P 2007-04-14 Congratulation.On follow up , did the LV function ,blood pressure and creatinine improve? What are the chances of restenosis in renal artey stenting?.Is there a role for cutting balloon angioplasty for renal artery stenosis? Thank you
  • anurag rawat 2007-05-06 It was really nice case. i want to know what was change in renal parameters. after renal stenting whetehr u started him on ace inhibitors or not. what was improvement in LV function.WHAT IS ROLE OF DRUG ELUTING STENT IN RENAL ARTERIES. ANURAG RAWAT
