Liesbeth Bax,A J Woittiez,Hans J. Kouwenberg,Willem P.Th.M. Mali,Erik Buskens,Frederik J. A. Beek,Branko Braam,F.T.M. Huysmans,Leo J. Schultze Kool,Matthieu J. C. M. Rutten,Cornelius J. Doorenbos,Johannes C. N. M. Aarts,Ton J. Rabelink,Pierre-François Plouin,Alain Raynaud,Gert A. van Montfrans,Jim A. Reekers,Anton H. van den Meiracker,Peter M. T. Pattynama,Peter J.G. van de Ven,Dammis Vroegindeweij,Abraham A. Kroon,Michiel W. de Haan,Cornelis T. Postma,Jaap J. Beutler +24 more
TL;DR: Stent placement with medical treatment had no clear effect on progression of impaired renal function but led to a small number of significant procedure-related complications, which favor a conservative approach to patients with ARAS.
Baroreflex Activation Therapy Lowers Blood Pressure in Patients With Resistant Hypertension Results From the Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Rheos Pivotal Trial
John D. Bisognano,George L. Bakris,Mitra K. Nadim,Luis A. Sanchez,Abraham A. Kroon,Jill E. Schafer,Peter W. de Leeuw,Domenic A. Sica +7 more
TL;DR: The weight of the overall evidence suggests that over the long-term, BAT can safely reduce SBP in patients with resistant hypertension.

G. Boudewijn C. Vasbinder,Patricia J. Nelemans,Alfons G.H. Kessels,Abraham A. Kroon,Jeffrey H. Maki,Tim Leiner,Frederik J. A. Beek,Michael B. J. M. Korst,Karin Flobbe,Michiel W. de Haan,Willem H. van Zwam,Cornelis T. Postma,M. G. Myriam Hunink,Peter W. de Leeuw,Jos M. A. van Engelshoven +14 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to determine the interobserver agreement and diagnostic accuracy of CTA and MRA in comparison with DSA and to examine whether CTA or MRA can be used as an initial test for detection of renal artery stenosis.

Diagnostic Tests for Renal Artery Stenosis in Patients Suspected of Having Renovascular Hypertension: A Meta-Analysis
G. Boudewijn C. Vasbinder,Patricia J. Nelemans,Alfons G.H. Kessels,Abraham A. Kroon,Peter W. de Leeuw,Jos M. A. van Engelshoven +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the validity of computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiograph, ultrasonography, captopril renal scintigraphy, and renal test for diagnosis of renal artery stenosis in patients suspected of having renovascular hypertension was compared.

Minimally invasive system for baroreflex activation therapy chronically lowers blood pressure with pacemaker-like safety profile: results from the Barostim neo trial
Uta C. Hoppe,Mathias-Christoph Brandt,Rolf Wachter,Joachim Beige,Lars Christian Rump,Abraham A. Kroon,Adam W. Cates,Eric G. Lovett,Hermann Haller +8 more
TL;DR: BAT delivered with the second-generation system significantly lowers blood pressure in resistant hypertension with stable, intensive background medical therapy, consistent with studies of the first- generation system for electrical activation of the baroreflex, and provides a safety profile comparable to a pacemaker.
