Hello @martaangelica, Welcome to Connect. If you would like get a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, you can find the contact information for the Minnesota, Arizona and Florida campuses here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

You might find the following information on treatment research helpful.
-- Improving Treatment in Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Stenosis (ARAS)

Have you been diagnosed with Renovascular Disease?

Thank you for your response !
My husband has left kidney completely with stenosis and atrhrofic
The right kidney has mild stenosis of the proximal artery " Right renal artery angiogram demonstrates patent artery without significant stenosis by angiogram"
By Novartis, Entresto is not a good option for kidney stenosis. The doctor ordered Entresto and the physician said is ok because the right kidney has mild stenosis and the left kidney is atrophic
Thank you!

His Creatinine is 3 and the GRF IS 20 Can he take Entresto ? or will be the worst option for his kidney?
