Abstract
The benefit of balloon angioplasty, with or without stenting, for the treatment of patients with renal artery stenosis remains controversial. A number of randomized controlled trials have attempted to determine its efficacy but the matter remains unclear. A 2014 Cochrane review, which combined data from 8 trials, showed homogeneity among the trials with no significant benefit shown. This systematic review replicates the same research methods and meta-analysis while expanding it to include papers between 2014 and 2018. One of the trials included in the previous review published results in the interim. Additionally, 2 ongoing trials identified in the 2014 review are yet to publish any result. Meta-analysis of the reports showed no heterogeneity between trials and no significant improvement shown by balloon angioplasty, with or without stenting, versus medical therapy. Further studies are recommended in order to assess the benefits of balloon angioplasty for patients with more severe renal artery stenosis.
