Brief

This study is designed to compare the safety and effectiveness of treating one's renal artery narrowing with the use of approved peripheral stents and blood pressure medication as compared to blood pressure medication alone.

Recruiting Status:

Recruiting

Stanford Recruiting Status:

Recruiting

Condition(s):

Intervention(s):

  • Drug: Antihypertensive drugs
  • Procedure: Renal artery angioplasty and stenting

Phase:

Phase 3

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:

18 years to Any Age

Genders Eligible for Study:

Male and Female

Health of Volunteers:

People with the conditions listed in this trial can participate as controls.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. Either:
a. Documented history of hypertension on 2 or more anti-hypertensive medications OR
b. Renal dysfunction defined as Stage 3 or greater CKD based on the new NKF classifications (estimated GFR < 60 mL per minute per 1.73 m2 calculated by the modified MDRD formula)
2. One or more severe renal artery stenoses by any of the following pathways:
a. Angiographic: >= 60% and < 100% by renal angiogram OR
b. Duplex: systolic velocity of >= 300 cm/sec OR
c. Core lab approved MRA demonstrating
- Stenosis > 90%
- Stenosis > 75% with spin dephasing on 3D phase contrast MRA OR
- Stenosis > 75% and two of the following:
i. Ischemic kidney is > 1 cm smaller than contralateral kidney.
ii. Ischemic kidney enhances less on arterial phase.
iii. Ischemic kidney has delayed Gd excretion.
iv. Ischemic kidney hyper-concentrates the urine.
v. 2-D phase contrast flow waveform shows delayed systolic peak.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Unable to provide informed consent
2. Unable or unwilling to comply with study protocol or procedures
3. Age <18
4. Fibromuscular dysplasia or other non-atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis known to be present prior to randomization
5. Pregnancy or unknown pregnancy status in female of childbearing potential (women of child-bearing
age/ability be required to undergo a pregnancy test before enrolling in the study)
6. Participation in any drug or device trial during the study period, unless approved by the Steering Committee
7. Prior enrollment in the CORAL Study
8. History of stroke within 6 months, if associated with a residual neurologic deficit
9. Any major surgery, major trauma, revascularization procedure, unstable angina, or myocardial infarction 30 days prior to study entry
10. Any planned major surgery or revascularization procedure, outside of the randomly allocated renal stenting dictated by this protocol, after randomization
11. Hospitalization for heart failure within 30 days
12. Comorbid condition causing life expectancy <= 3 years
13. Allergic reaction to intravascular contrast, not amenable to pre-treatment
14. Allergy to stainless steel
15. Allergy to all of the following: aspirin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine
16. Known untreated aneurysm of the abdominal aorta > 5.0 cm
17. Previous kidney transplant
18. Stenosis of > 50% of a previously treated revascularized renal artery or treatment of any renal artery stenosis within the past 9 months (roll-in patients can have prior treatment on the contralateral side)
19. Kidney size less than 7 cm supplied by target vessel
20. Hydronephrosis, nephritis or other known cause of renal insufficiency, not due to large vessel renal artery stenosis
21. Visualized stenosis of only an accessory renal artery supplying < 1/2 of the ipsilateral renal parenchyma,
without stenosis in a dominant renal artery
22. Local lab serum Cr > 3.0 mg/dl on the day of randomization
23. Presence of a renal artery stenosis not amenable for treatment with a stent, known to be present prior to
randomization
24. Abrupt vessel closure or dissection after diagnostic angiography [NOTE: Patients with abrupt vessel closure or dissection as a result of diagnostic angiography will not be randomized but will undergo stent revascularization, receive optimal medical therapy and will be followed for the full study period.]
