Covered vs Bare Metal Stents for Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis
China150 participantsStarted 2026-04-30
Plain-language summary
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis is the most common cause of secondary hypertension , increasing the risk of cardiovascular and kidney-related complications. Some small-scale studies have suggested that covered stents are effective and safe, but high-quality evidence from large-scale studies in atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis remains limited.
This study aims to evaluate whether covered stents are more effective than bare metal stents in patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a covered stent or a bare metal stent. Patients will be followed for 12 months to assess Changes in eGFR, 24-hour systolic blood pressure, and 24-hour diastolic blood pressure from baseline to 12 months were compared among the groups.
The results of this study may help improve treatment strategies and guide the selection of stent type for patients with this condition.

Inclusion Criteria:
* 1\) Renal artery diameter stenosis ≥60%; 2) Office systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or office diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg on at least two separate days without antihypertensive medication, or office systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or office diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg while on three antihypertensive drugs at conventional doses; 3) Serum creatinine \< 264 μmol/L (3.0 mg/dL); 4) Affected kidney length ≥ 7.0 cm, with residual glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 10 mL/min;
Exclusion Criteria:
* 1\) Unstable clinical condition rendering the patient intolerant to revascularisation therapy; 2) Urinary protein ≥2+; 3) Contrast medium allergy; 4) Renal artery anatomy unsuitable for revascularisation therapy; 5) Reference vessel diameter \<3.5mm or \>8mm. 6)Patients with non-atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (such as fibromuscular dysplasia or Takayasu arteritis); 7)Reference vessel diameter \< 3.5 mm or \> 8 mm
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
