Research
Doctors at Mayo Clinic have a long-standing interest in research related to renal artery stenosis. Findings from research studies can lead to new and improved treatments. Current research efforts focus on:
- Assessing the most effective renal artery stenosis treatments
- Exploring how renal artery stenosis affects small vessels and kidney tissue injury
- Developing imaging tools to better evaluate blood flow and injury in the kidney
- Determining the most appropriate treatment for people who have high blood pressure caused by renal artery stenosis
- Increasing recovery of kidney function after treatment
- Exploring new methods of boosting kidney repair after restoring blood flow
Researchers at Mayo Clinic are studying new diagnostic tools such as the multidetector computerized tomography (CT) scan and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Mayo Clinic researchers developed these imaging tools, which use 3D images to assess kidney function. BOLD MRI can show whether your kidney is getting sufficient oxygen and can recover after renal revascularization.
