چکیده

A young male suffering from renovascular hypertension was admitted. His initial arteriogram highlighted a focal stenosis of the right renal artery. His intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed increasing medial layer thickness accompanied by a mixture of both high and low echoic materials in this layer. There was also mild thickening of the intimal layer. The diagnosis of medial fibroplasia and intimal fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) was made. Balloon angioplasty decreased the volume of dysplastic tissue. The IVUS images facilitated both the initial diagnosis of focal renal arterial stenosis and the evaluation of the mechanism of dilatation by angioplasty.

Hypertensive Encephalopathy Caused by Fibromuscular Dysplasia of Renal Arteries in a Child

Systemic hypertension is uncommon in children. It is usually secondary to underlying diseases. Here, we present an 11-year-old boy suffering from critical renal artery stenosis with unusual initial presentation of status epilepticus and hypertensive cerebellar encephalopathy. Angiography revealed bilateral renal arteries fibromuscular dysplasia. The encephalopathy improved dramatically after re...

Renal artery stent fracture in patients with fibromuscular dysplasia: a cautionary tale.

Patient 1 A 16-year-old girl was seen for a second opinion on renal FMD. Hypertension was diagnosed at the age of 13 years and initially treated medically; however, bilateral renal artery angioplasty was subsequently performed for poorly controlled blood pressure. She subsequently underwent placement of a drug eluting stent in the right renal artery for restenosis. Although she initially improv...

Recognizing and managing fibromuscular dysplasia.

Fibromuscular dysplasia typically occurs in young women and most commonly presents with hypertension, transient ischemic attack, stroke, or an asymptomatic cervical bruit. The disease is nonatherosclerotic and noninflammatory and most often affects the renal and carotid arteries, although almost any artery can be involved. On angiography, affected blood vessels characteristically resemble a str...

Renal Artery Disease Complementary Roles of Color-Flow Duplex Imaging and Intravascular Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Renal Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia Should Renal Arteriography Serve as the “Gold Standard”?

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare color-flow duplex imaging (CFDI), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and renal arteriography in diagnosing renal artery (RA) fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and correlating with the hemodynamic response to balloon angioplasty (BA) in patients with drug-resistant hypertension. BACKGROUND Renal arteriography is generally regarded as the gold standar...

Background: Renal artery stenosis, which is defined as narrowing of one or both renal arteries or their branches, is one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension. The majority of renal vascular lesions show either fibromuscular dysplasia or atherosclerosis. Fibromuscular dysplasia is a common cause of renovascular hypertension in younger patients, and 90% of patients are young wome...
