Clinical Efficacy and Diagnostic Assessment of Renal Angioplasty in Renal Artery Stenosis: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Integrated Clinical Framework

Background

Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA), with or without stenting, was historically performed to restore renal arterial patency in renal artery stenosis (RAS). Nevertheless, major randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have questioned the routine use of revascularization in renal artery disease.
