Atherosclerotic Renovascular Disease: Where to After ASTRAL and CORAL?

Nephrology

This webinar will discuss the epidemiology and management of atherosclerotic renovascular disease, with a focus on renal revascularisation. Clinical cases and randomised controlled trial evidence will be used to explore the indications and important considerations involved in revascularisation decision-making.

Topics explored in this webinar include:

  • the main findings and conclusions from the ASTRAL and CORAL trials;
  • revascularisation for high-risk cases;
  • the role of multidisciplinary team meetings in case selection; and
  • a consensus for intervention.
