Lance Dworkin, professor of medicine (nephrology) and a physician at Lifespan and University Medicine, and Timothy Murphy, professor of diagnostic imaging and a physician at Lifespan and Rhode Island Medical Imaging, were senior and second authors of a lead article in the New England Journal of Medicine on a major study of stents in treating renal artery stenosis. The CORAL (Cardiovascular Outcome in Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions) study showed that renal artery stenting does not confer any benefit for the prevention of clinical events when added to comprehensive medical therapy. The eight-year, multi-center study involved nearly 1,000 patients. Dworkin notes that theirs was one of the top enrolling centers and one of the sites that enrolled the greatest percentage of minority patients, which was a goal of the study in order to ensure the results applied to minorities as well. Dworkin was the study’s chair, while Murphy was the co-PI for the study and chaired the publications committee.
