Abstract
Most patients presenting with acute kidney infarction are managed conservatively. A subset of patients with complete occlusion of the renal artery undergo CDT with good angiographic results. The treated kidney is expected to decrease in size over time, and overall kidney function is expected to decrease compared with baseline. Deterioration in renal function appears to stabilize and does not continue over time. CDT for acute renal artery occlusion is a safe modality of therapy and should be attempted for the purpose of kidney salvage, even in the setting of prolonged ischemia.
