  • Title: Juxtaposed "kissing" stents as a technique to preserve both limbs of a bifurcating renal artery.
    Author: Avula S, Dorros G.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1995 Oct; 36(2):143-5; discussion 146-7. PubMed ID: 8829836.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous revascularization with balloon expandable stent placement and/or balloon angioplasty has been proven to be an effective alternative for renal artery bypass surgery for management of renal artery stenosis. Endovascular stent deployment has been proven to be superior to balloon angioplasty alone, especially for ostial lesions in terms of maintaining long-term patency. Here we describe a case report for deployment of two Palmaz stents with simultaneous utilization of brachial and femoral routes. Technical aspects for this procedure, especially adaptation of coronary guide wire systems in management of renal artery stenosis were discussed.
