Purpose: To identify candidates for PTRA in terms of the preservation of renal function, we herein evaluated factors that caused worsening renal function (WRF) after PTRA. Methods: We evaluated 92 patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (mean age 70.7 ± 8.4 years). WRF was defined as a ≥...
