Renal Artery Stenting in Lahore

Do You Have High Blood Pressure That Is Hard to Control?

Sometimes, high blood pressure does not get better even after taking several medicines. In some people, this may be caused by a narrowing of the blood vessels that supply the kidneys. When these vessels are blocked or narrowed, it becomes very difficult for medicines alone to keep the blood pressure under control.

For patients with this problem, there is a safe and effective treatment called renal artery stenting. In this procedure, a small tube (stent) is placed inside the narrowed kidney artery to open it up. This helps restore normal blood flow to the kidneys and makes it much easier to control blood pressure.

Renal artery stenting is a planned, minimally invasive procedure with rewarding results for patients who continue to struggle with uncontrolled high blood pressure despite maximum treatment.

Renal Artery Stenting ?

Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a condition in which the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys become narrowed or blocked. This blockage can lead to reduced kidney function and contribute to high blood pressure, often making it resistant to standard treatment. In such cases, renal artery stenting is an effective intervention to restore blood flow to the kidneys, prevent further kidney damage, and control high blood pressure.

At Dr. Masood Ahmed’s practice in Lahore, we offer advanced renal artery stenting procedures, utilizing the latest technologies and techniques to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients. With over 33 years of experience in the field of interventional cardiology and endovascular medicine, Dr. Masood Ahmed is a trusted expert in providing this life-changing procedure.

What is Renal Artery Stenting?

Renal artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure performed to open up blocked or narrowed renal arteries. The procedure involves placing a small mesh tube, called a stent, in the narrowed artery to keep it open and restore normal blood flow. This allows for the proper functioning of the kidneys and can help in the management of conditions such as resistant hypertension (high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to medication) and kidney disease caused by poor blood supply.

When is Renal Artery Stenting Required?

Renal artery stenting may be recommended for patients suffering from:

Renal Artery Stenosis (RAS): A narrowing or blockage in the renal arteries caused by plaque buildup or other factors, which reduces blood flow to the kidneys.
Resistant Hypertension: High blood pressure that cannot be controlled with medication, often caused by renal artery stenosis.
Kidney Dysfunction: Reduced kidney function due to insufficient blood supply, which can eventually lead to kidney failure if not treated.
Flash Pulmonary Edema: Sudden fluid buildup in the lungs due to severe hypertension, often linked to renal artery stenosis.

Symptoms of Renal Artery Stenosis

The condition may not cause immediate symptoms, but when they occur, they can include:

High blood pressure
Decreased kidney function
Abdominal pain
Heart failure
Hypertension

Benefits of Renal Artery Stenting

Renal artery stenting offers several benefits for patients, including:

Improved Blood Pressure Control: It can help manage resistant hypertension, providing relief when medications alone fail to control blood pressure.
Enhanced Kidney Function: By restoring blood flow to the kidneys, the procedure can prevent or slow the progression of kidney damage or failure.
Minimally Invasive: The procedure requires only a small incision and typically results in minimal discomfort and a quick recovery.
Reduced Risk of Complications: It lowers the risk of heart failure, stroke, and other complications associated with untreated renal artery stenosis.

How long will angioplasty last?

Angioplasty results can last for several years, but the longevity depends on factors such as lifestyle, overall health, and whether the patient follows medical advice. Stents can stay in place for 5 to 10 years or longer, but regular follow-up is essential.
