Abstract
We studied preprocedural ultrasound parameters in 17 consecutive patients w ho underwent renal artery stenting to predict postprocedural clinical outco me. Our study demonstrates that higher renal artery end-diastolic velocity and lower resistance index identifies patients who are likely to benefit fr om renal stenting.
