Renal Artery Stenosis The ASTRAL Study The Impact of Renal Artery Revascularisation in Atherosclerotic Renovascular Disease: The Angioplasty and Stenting for Renal Artery Lesions (ASTRAL) Trial Background: Outcomes after percutaneous renal revascularisation in atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) are still uncertain and the results of adequately powered randomised control trials (RCT) are awaited. Methods: The ASTRAL trial randomised patients equally between percutaneous revascularisation (angioplasty and/or stenting) plus medical therapy versus medical therapy alone. The sample size calculation required that 750 patients be recruited, giving 80% power to detect a 20% reduction in the primary end point of rate of decline of renal function as assessed by reciprocal serum creatinine over time. Secondary endpoints are blood pressure control, occurrence of renal events (e.g. acute renal failure, dialysis), serious vascular events and mortality. The trial had broad eligibility criteria so that these outcomes could be investigated in a clinically relevant population. Results: Between November 2000 and October 2007, ASTRAL recruited 806 ARVD patients from 56 centres (52 UK based and 4 in Australasia), making it over 7 times larger than any previous RCT in ARVD. Baseline data for the whole group at randomisation demonstrates mean age (range) of patients 70 years (42-88), 63% male, serum creatinine 179 mol/l (64-750), estimated GFR 40ml/min (5.4-124.5) and blood pressure 151/76 mm Hg (87/45-270/130). 54% of patients were ex-smokers, 30% were diabetic and 49%, 40% and 19% had a previous history of CAD, PVD and CVA, respectively. Pooled data analysis of all patients shows that serum creatinine increased by 18 mol/l and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased (13/7 mmhg) between baseline and 5 years. To date (December 2007), 37 (5%) patients have suffered acute renal failure, 53 (7%) a myocardial infarction, 41 (5%) a CVA and 145 (18%) patients have died. By March 2008, the complete analysis of a minimum 6 months follow-up by randomised treatment for all patients entered into ASTRAL will have been performed and these data will be presented. MI, STROKE, VASCULAR DEATH FLUID OVERLOAD OR CARDIAC FAILURE Conclusions: To date ASTRAL is by far the largest randomised trial in ARVD, and will provide the most reliable and timely evidence on the role, if any, of revascularisation in ARVD with which to guide the treatment of future patients.

PAD: ABI still alive Conclusions When the higher ankle pressure is used for ABI calculation, a group of patients at high risk for cardiovascular events is overlooked. With a simple modification of ABI (use of the lower instead of the higher ankle pressure), more patients at risk could be identified. Espinola Klein et al Circulation. 2008 Aug 26;118(9):961-7 Conclusions: Diabetes is the dominant risk factor for a high (>1.40) ABI. Occlusive PAD is highly prevalent in subjects with high ABI, and these subjects should be considered as PAD-equivalent. Aboyans V et al. J Vasc Surg 2008;48:1197-203.)
