Summary
The aim of the study is to value, in patients with chronic kidney disease and hypertension,
whether medical therapy plus interventional renal artery revascularization is superior to
medical therapy alone for the treatment of hemodynamically significant (>70%) atherosclerotic
renal artery stenosis, diagnosed by duplex doppler ultrasonography and confirmed by magnetic
resonance angiography, in terms of avoidance of the progression of renal damage, control of
hypertension and in reducing the cerebro and cardiovascular complications.
