Fig 1 Number of antihypertensive medications (MEDS) and blood pressure (BP) response rate. The proportion of BP responders (with error bars showing 95% confidence intervals) varies according to the number of preoperative medications required. P < .0001 (χ2 for trend).

Fig 2 Kidney volume and blood pressure (BP) response rate. The proportion of BP responders (with error bars showing 95% confidence intervals) varies according to the ipsilateral kidney volume (cm3). P < .007 (χ2 for trend). Journal of Vascular Surgery 2011 53, 1282-1290DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2010.11.103) Copyright © 2011 Terms and Conditions
Fig 3 Number of predictors and blood pressure (BP) response rate. Multivariate analysis identified four predictors of BP response. The numbers of predictors were tallied for each patient. There is a cumulative effect of increasing numbers of predictors on the probability of a BP response to renal artery stenting (with error bars showing 95% confidence intervals). P < .0001 (χ2 for trend). Journal of Vascular Surgery 2011 53, 1282-1290DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2010.11.103) Copyright © 2011 Terms and Conditions
