Resistant hypertension in the setting of renal artery occlusion should prompt further investigation for secondary causes in a young patient. We present renal artery occlusion in the setting of antiphospholipid syndrome as the initial presentation successfully treated with percutaneous intervention. This case is followed by review of the literature.

Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells Reverse Adipose Tissue Inflammation in Pigs with Metabolic Syndrome and Renovascular Hypertension.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with low-grade inflammation, which can be exacerbated by renal artery stenosis (RAS) and renovascular hypertension, potentially worsening outcomes through pro-inflammatory cytokines. This study investigated whether mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) could reduce fat inflammation in pigs with MetS and RAS. Twenty-four pigs were divided into Lean (control), MetS, MetS + RAS, and MetS + RAS + MSCs.

Excessive kidney mobility is an underestimating challenge for surgeons during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESL). There is no technique approved as a gold standard procedure for reducing excessive kidney mobility. The study aimed to uncover predictive factors for determining excessive renal mobility by utilizing clinicodemographic characteristics and noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) data.

Background: Intraoperative physiologic parameters could offer predictive utility in evaluating risk of adverse postoperative events yet are not included in current standard risk models. This study examined whether the inclusion of continuous intraoperative data improved machine learning model predictions for multiple outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting, including 30-day mortality, renal failure, reoperation, prolonged ventilation, and combined morbidity and mortality (MM).
Methods: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) database features and risk scores were combined with retrospectively gathered continuous intraoperative data from patients.

Background: Managing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease on dialysis (renal replacement therapy, RRT) presents challenges due to elevated complication risks. Concerns about contrast-related kidney damage may lead to the omission of guideline-directed therapies like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in this population.
Methods: We analysed German-DRG data of 2016 provided by the German Federal Bureau of Statistics (DESTATIS).

Background: The incidence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in the general population ranges from 0.6 to 2.3%, whereas for specific high-risk patients, the incidence can reach more than 30-40%.
