To test the utility of endoprosthetic treatment for ostial renal artery stenosis, and to examine blood pressure and its treatment, serum creatinine, and restenosis rate, 44 ostial renal stent placements were performed in 30 patients with concomitant coronary artery disease, arterial hypertension, an

## Abstract Predictors of restenosis after stent angioplasty of ostial renal artery stenosis (RAS) and longβterm technical success, particularly the influence of gold coating, are unknown. During a 4βyear period (1996β2000), we treated 156 consecutive patients with 219 ostial RAS of β₯ 70% diameter
Renal artery stenosis involving the renal artery ostium often responds suboptimally to balloon angioplasty. In this context, immediate and long-term results can be optimized by stenting. Occasionally, lesions may involve the midartery segment at a branch point. We report a case of a bifurcation lesi
