Article Abstract
Resistant hypertension (RH) is a major healthcare issue, causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In recent years, radiofrequency (RF) ablation to renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) is a new effective method for the treatment of RH. However, the effect of RSD on renal artery blood flow still need further research. In this study, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiment and RF ablation experiment were used to observe the blood flow states in three conditions: no ablation with flow, ablation with no flow, and ablation with flow. The results showed that when the blood flow was 1L/min in renal artery without ablation, it was uniform laminar flow. When the blood was static in renal artery with ablation, there was eddy around the ablation catheter. When the blood flow was 1L/min in renal artery with ablation, the eddy disappeared and the blood flow was uniform laminar flow. Therefore, when the renal artery blood flow is 1L/min, there will be no thrombus and hemolysis in the renal artery due to eddy current and large velocity gradient, which preliminarily verified the safety of the RSD.

A rare bilateral renal arterial configuration featuring a right-sided crossed trajectory and left-sided type IIa branching: morphometric and embryological insights from cadaveric dissection.
Surg Radiol Anat

Department of Anatomy, School of Medicine, Istanbul Medeniyet University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Purpose: This study aimed to report and characterize bilateral renal artery (RA) variations observed during cadaveric dissection and to evaluate these findings in the context of embryological development and morphometric analysis.
Case Presentation: During routine anatomical dissection of an 87-year-old Caucasian male cadaver, bilateral variations in the renal arteries were identified. On the right side, two renal arteries (RRA1 and RRA2) were observed, each giving rise to presegmental and segmental branches.
Distal Radial Access for Radial Artery Recanalization: Multicenter Outcomes and Stepwise Strategies to Maximize Patency.
JACC Cardiovasc Interv
September 2025
Cardiology Division, Internal Medicine Department, University of Szeged, Szeged, Hungary.
Background: Radial artery occlusion complicates transradial access, limiting future access and precluding bypass grafting and dialysis. Distal radial access offers a promising solution by allowing retrograde recanalization of occluded radial arteries.
Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate multicenter outcomes of radial artery recanalization though distal radial access (DRA), focusing on its safety, efficacy, and reproducibility, while identifying procedural strategies to optimize patency.
Renal Recovery After Post-Cardiac Surgery Renal Replacement Therapy.

Department of Cardiac Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. Electronic address:
Background: The need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) is an uncommon but severe complication following post-cardiac surgery AKI, however there is limited data on the incidence of renal recovery. This study evaluates the rate of renal recovery in cardiac surgery patients that require postoperative RRT and survive to discharge, and describes the clinical factors associated with higher rates of recovery.
Methods: All adult patients without preoperative dialysis, heart transplantation, or durable left ventricular assist device who required new onset postoperative RRT after cardiac surgery from 2011-2022 at a high-volume referral center were included.
The evaluation of non-contrast MRA using a modified balanced steady state free precession technique in the follow-up of renal artery aneurysm after embolotherapy.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and clinical utility of non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (NC-MRA) using a modified balanced steady-state free precession (b-SSFP) technique combined with arterial spin labeling (ASL) for post-embolotherapy follow-up of renal artery aneurysms (RAAs), with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as the reference standard.
Method: A total of 57 patients with RAAs underwent embolotherapy between June 2013 and July 2024. Among them, 15 RAAs from 14 patients underwent post-embolization surveillance with the NC-MRA and DSA.

Background: Diabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular events as compared to non-diabetic patients. This analysis investigated outcomes of diabetic patients presenting with multivessel disease (MVD) and STEMI in a contemporary trial and the relevance of an immediate versus staged multivessel PCI strategy in this high-risk population.
Methods: Patients enrolled in the MULTISTARS AMI trial were stratified according to the presence/absence of diabetes.
