Renal artery, one of the pair of large blood vessels that branch off from the abdominal aorta (the abdominal portion of the major artery leading from the heart) and enter into each kidney. (The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that remove waste substances from the blood and aid in fluid
Can narrowing of the renal artery be treated? SCAI. Yes, there are treatments available for kidney arteries that have become narrowed as a result of plaque build-up. Narrowing of the kidney arteries occurs very much as it does in the heart arteries. Through a complex process, plaque builds up and eventually halts blood flow and raises blood ...
What are the possible complications of RAS?
* ICD-10 codes I70. 1 and I77. 3 require additional diagnoses from Code Group 5 for coverage of renal artery stenting.
Buildup on kidney (renal) arteries. Fats, cholesterol and other substances (plaque) can build up in and on your kidney artery walls (atherosclerosis). As these deposits get larger, they can harden, reduce blood flow, cause kidney scarring and eventually narrow the artery.
Renal artery occlusion is a complete blockage of blood flow through one or both of the main renal arteries or its branches. Stenosis and occlusion are usually due to thromboemboli, atherosclerosis, or fibromuscular dysplasia.
ICD-10 code: I72. 2 Aneurysm and dissection of renal artery.
Disease of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys – a condition known as renal artery stenosis – is less common than the more familiar form of atherosclerosis, peripheral arterial disease, but is equally serious.
The renal artery is a short paired artery that arises from the lateral aspect of the aorta. Its location is in the retroperitoneum, where it courses laterally towards the hilum of the kidney posterior to the renal veins, nerves and the pancreas.
“Renal” means “kidney” and “stenosis” means “narrowing.” The renal arteries are blood vessels that carry blood to the kidneys from the aorta—the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to arteries throughout the body.

A Renal Artery Duplex is an ultrasound test that uses high frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to examine the renal arteries and measure the blood flow through the arteries. These arteries can narrow or become blocked. This may result in kidney failure or hypertension (high blood pressure.)
The aorta delivers oxygenated blood pumped from the heart to the rest of the body. The most common location of arterial aneurysm formation is the abdominal aorta, specifically, the segment of the abdominal aorta below the kidneys. An abdominal aneurysm located below the kidneys is called an infrarenal aneurysm.
A pseudoaneurysm, or pseudoaneurysm of the vessels, occurs when a blood vessel wall is injured and the leaking blood collects in the surrounding tissue. It is sometimes called a false aneurysm. In a true aneurysm, the artery or vessel weakens and bulges, sometimes forming a blood-filled sac.
