Renal artery stenosis is "narrowing or occlusion of the renal artery or arteries. It is due usually to atherosclerosis; fibromuscular dysplasia; thrombosis; embolism, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension."[1]
2% of patients underoing coronary angiography in one study had bilateral RAS > 50%.[2] In this study, 11% had at least unilateral RAS. Of these patients one third do not have a history of hypertension; however, the rate of hypertension among those with bilateral disease was not reported.
In a second study of patients patients underoing coronary angiography, 4% has bilateral RAS with both lesions > 50% while 1.5% had both lesions > 75%.[3] Among all the patients with either unilateral or bilateral RAS, half had hypertension.
In an autopsy study, 10 of 15 patients with bilateral RAS (defined as reduction in artery diameter by 50%) were normotensive by history (defined as diastolic pressure < 100 mm Hg).[4] Lisa obtained similar results.[5]
