A 74-year male patient was admitted to our department with a left renal artery aneurysm (RAA). It was detected by a computed tomography (CT) scan while performing an examination for hypertension. The diameter of the aneurysm was 25 mm. There was no evidence of calcification. Selective left renal angiography and a 3-dimensional (3D)-CT image revealed a saccular renal aneurysm in the left main renal artery. Because of the risk of rupture, autotransplantation of the left kidney to the left iliac fossa was performed after resecting the aneurysm and reconstructing the left artery under bench surgery. Postoperative 3D-CT revealed no stenosis. This ex-vivo technique and autotransplantation into ipsilateral iliac fossa are both effective and safe for the treatment of RAA.

Objectives: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been associated with a prothrombotic state. CKD affects hemostasis through altered platelet function and coagulation factors. Traditional tests provide limited insight into these changes.

Background: There are little available data about the impact of geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) on clinical outcomes following endovascular therapy (EVT) in chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) regarding the severities of renal dysfunction (RD).

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of GNRI on clinical outcomes following EVT in CLTI regarding the severities of RD.

Methods: We enrolled 705 consecutive CLTI cases treated with EVT between January 2010 and December 2019 at our hospital.

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease of medium-sized arteries that causes abnormal cellular growth in arterial walls and most commonly affects young to middle-aged women (20-50 years of age). While FMD often involves the renal arteries, it can affect any arterial bed. FMD has a characteristic angiographic appearance of a "string of beads.

Renal ischaemia due to renal artery stenosis produces two differing responses - a juxtaglomerular hypertensive response and cortical renal dysfunction. The reversibility of renal impairment is not predictable, and thus renal revascularisation is controversial. This study aims to test the hypothesis that the hypertensive response to renal ischaemia reflects viable renal parenchyma, and thus could be used to predict the recovery in renal function.

Objectives: To update the 2017 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) recommendations for treatment of systemic sclerosis (SSc), incorporating new evidence and therapies.

Methods: An international task force was convened in line with EULAR standard operating procedures. A nominal group technique exercise was performed in two rounds to define questions underpinning a subsequent systematic literature review.
