The aim of this study was to examine whether CAHs with more resources or access to resources through affiliation with larger systems are more likely to offer other imaging services in their communities. Linking data from the American Hospital Association's annual hospital surveys and the American Hospital Directory's annual surveys from 2009 to 2011, multivariate logistic regressions were performed to estimate the likelihood of individual CAHs with greater financial resources or network affiliations providing specific imaging services (MRI, CT, ultrasound, mammography, and PET/CT), while adjusting for the number of beds, personnel, inpatient revenue share, case mix, rural status, year, and geographic location. Hospital total expenditures were positiv...

Patients were divided into three groups: those with a short stenosis in the middle or distal part of the renal artery (n = 5), those with a short stenosis at or near the origin of the renal artery (n = 3), and those with a long stenosis at or near the origin (n = 4). The patients in the first group responded to PTRA. Those in the second group had a poor clinical response, and dilation was unsuccessful in the patients in the third group, who remained hypertensive. The location and length of the renal artery stenosis and its underlying cause appear to be important in determining the results of PTRA.
