Low-profile Stent Placement with the Monorail Technique for Treatment of Renal Artery Stenosis: Midterm Results of a Prospective Trial

Renal artery stent placement with the rapid-exchange monorail system is a safe procedure with promising patency rates. In combination with the long-sheath technique, adequate control of stent deployment is guaranteed during the entire intervention. The low profile of the device facilitates the use of small sheaths (5 F) to minimize access-site complications.
