Objective To determine the long-term outcomes of renal interventional therapy in patients with renal artery stenosis. Methods One hundred thirty-four consecutive patients reveived renal stenting in our hospital. The changes of BP and serum creatitine were measured 24 hours after the procedure and during the first and second year of follow-up. Results All procedures were performed successfully. The mean serum creatitine level increased [(109.8?24.6) ?mol/L vs (99.4?27.8 baseline level) ?mol/L] and the glomerular filtration rate decreased [(57.6?19.3)mL/min vs (68.5?18.9) mL/min] significantly after the procedure. However during the first and second year of follow-up, the serum creatitine level returned to the pre-procedure level. Sixty-four patients attained benefit of BP improvement at about 6 months after renal artery stenting. The mean systolic pressure 6 months after the procedure was (148.6?22.6) mm?Hg (1 mm?Hg=0.133 kPa), which was significantly lower than the baseline level. During the first and second year of follow-up, there were 56 patients (50.6%) and 50 patients (49.6%) achieved BP improvement from renal stenting respectively. Conclusion Renal stenting is efficient and has satisfactory long-term outcomes in treating renal artery stenosis.

Objective Plasma levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 ( MMP-9 ) and serum level of high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) were detected to investigate their distributions between patients with stable stroke and those with asymptomatic intracranial artery stenosis and to explore their clinical significance. Methods The mean level of the serum hs-CRP of the group with recurrent stroke (2.34 mg/L)was the highest, followed by that of the group with the stable stroke( 1.45 mg/L),asymptomatic intracranial artery stenosis ( 1.31 mg/L) and control group (0.96 mg/L) ( P = 0.001 ). The level of the MMP-9 was in sequence of recurrent stroke group ( 121.82 ± 72.99 ) μg/L > asymptomaticintracranial artery stenosis group ( 119.18 ± 80.01 ) μg/L > stable stroke group( 112.76 ± 59.66) μg/L,while no statistical significance was found among groups( P = 0.947 ). However, the level of MMP-9 of three patient groups( 118.08 ± 71.06 ) μg/L was significant higher than control group( 57.55 ± 10.44 )μg/L (P <0.001 ). The spearman analysis for the relationship showed that the concentration of MMP-9 was positively associated with that of hs-CRP ( r = 0.337, P < 0.001 ). Conclusions The hs-CRP maintained a high level in stable stage of stroke. The MMP-9 level in the patients group was significant higher than control group and the level of MMP-9 was positively associated with that of hs-CRP which suggested MMP-9 might be correlated with atherosclerosis other than stroke occurrence.
