    A 73-year-old female patient with medical refractory angina, severe multivessel disease and a critically depressed left ventricular function (ejection fraction 30%) was admitted to our hospital. Considered a poor candidate for surgical revascularization, she underwent urgent high-risk revascularization supported by use of a novel percutaneous left ventricular assist system

    We report the case of a 71-year-old male, submitted to percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTA) plus stent implantation following the confirmation, at intravascular ultrasound, of severe unilateral renal artery stenosis in the setting of a single functional kidney and of evidence of renal insufficiency (serum creatinine value 300 mumol/l). At 6 months of follow-up the serum creatinine levels had returned to normal (98 mumol/l). This case shows the role of direct PTA on the overall renal function in a case of global renal ischemia
