Renal artery aneurysm (RAA), a type of visceral aneurysm with atypical symptoms, is difficult to detect and is usually discovered incidentally by imaging examination. Hilar RAA (HRAA) represents a relatively rare subgroup of RAA that is located in the distal part of the renal artery, close to the renal parenchyma. We reported a 55-year-old woman with an HRAA measuring 19 mm × 20 mm × 20 mm. She underwent endovascular therapy with bare-metal stent implantation with nested coil embolization. She was discharged without complications. The uniqueness of this case is the aneurysm location, which was at the distal right renal artery, making it difficult to preserve the blood supply to the right kidney. The novelty of the minimally invasive technique was that this endovascular treatment not only eliminated the aneurysm, but also preserved the blood supply to the ipsilateral kidney. Endovascular therapy is effective in the management of HRAA.

We describe a 54-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus, ischemic myopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and end-stage renal disease who was admitted for heart failure and listed for a dual cardiac-renal transplantation. Extensive calcification in the iliac arteries prevented clamping. Proximal endovascular balloon control of the left iliac artery was achieved using contralateral access; distal control was established by passing a Fogarty catheter distally through an iliac arteriotomy, later used for anastomosis of the cadaveric conduit.

Background And Aims: The adipocyte-derived adiponectin (APN) has potent insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory properties. The adipose tissue is known to be the main source for APN in the circulation, but sites and mechanisms which remove APN from blood are still unknown in humans.
Methods And Results: We reviewed APN data obtained in previous studies in which the inter-organ exchange of amino acids and cytokines was measured in our laboratory.

Rationale: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading global cause of death from cardiovascular disease, and the mortality rate increases in the presence of comorbidities such as renal abscess. The treatment of AMI combined with renal abscess is challenging, especially in combination with urinary tract obstruction, as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can lead to progression of the renal abscess and deterioration of renal function. Currently, there is no consensus on the treatment of renal abscess in AMI.

Background: Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) may provoke hypertension and/or impaired kidney function. Some patients develop uncontrolled hypertension and deteriorating kidney function despite optimal medical therapy. In these patients, endovascular treatment is an important therapeutic option.
