Abstract
This study evaluates the effect of renal artery stent implantation in patients with renovascular hypertension presenting with unstable angina (n = 20) or congestive heart failure (n = 28). There was a significant improvement in the Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina class and the New York Heart Association functional class, and at 8.4 +/- 6.4 month follow-up.
