Cardiac Codex

Renal artery intervention

A Peripheral Vascular Intervention term on the RCIS exam blueprint, defined for cath lab and EP clinicians.

Reserved for specific scenarios such as renal artery stenosis with flash pulmonary edema, resistant hypertension with hemodynamically significant stenosis, or progressive renal function decline attributable to the stenosis — population-level trial data have not shown broad benefit for revascularizing renal stenosis found incidentally, so case selection is important.
