PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL ANGIGPLASTYWITH STENTING FOR RENAL ARTERY STENOSIS

摘要

The article "Screening, diagnosis, and treatment of renal artery stenosis by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting" by Kobo et al. published in IMAJ 2010;12(3):140-3, raises serious questions, both regarding its treatment algorithm and its final conclusions, which are contrary to contemporary recommendations. Its publication in a peer-reviewed journal should have included editorial comments.
