Zusammenfassung:Background. Renal atherosclerosis is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of renal artery stenosis (RAS) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and supraaortic arteries (SA) stenosis. Methods. Renal angiography was performed in 1193 (807 men) consecutive patients referred for coronary or SA angiography. Group I included 296 (136 men, 60.1 ± 9.5 years) patients with no significant (
