N2 - Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stent implantation (PTRAS) among patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS) who become dialysis-dependent due to acute deterioration of renal function. Materials and Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of all PTRAS procedures performed from 2003 to 2019 in a referral hospital. A total of 109 procedures were performed in 92 patients. Eleven patients (12%) presented with anuric acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to high-grade RAS (defined as intraluminal stenosis above 70% per angiography) and underwent PTRAS after starting hemodialysis. Data collected included demographic parameters, medical background, creatinine, blood pressure, indication for intervention, procedure characteristics, adverse events, and long-term data including dialysis treatment and mortality. Among the dialysis-dependent AKI group, outcome measures were defined based on the postprocedural improvement in kidney function and discontinuation of dialysis. Results: Following PTRAS, 8 of 11 patients (73%) demonstrated improved kidney function and were able to discontinue dialysis. The median time on dialysis was 18 days (range, 2–35 days) before PTRAS and 4.5 days (range, 1–24 days) to recovery of kidney function after the time of intervention. Conclusions: Patients with atherosclerotic RAS who develop RAS-related AKI may benefit from PTRAS even after several weeks of anuria and dialysis dependence.
