Renal artery rupture following cutting balloon angioplasty for fibromuscular dysplasia: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Angioplasty with the use of cutting balloons has been suggested by some case reports and small series for the treatment of renal artery stenoses that are resistant to conventional balloon catheters. Based on this limited experience, the use of this technology has been suggested as safe. Herein, we report a renal artery rupture following angioplasty with a cutting balloon. The complication was salvaged with a stent graft. CASE PRESENTATION A 30-year-old white female patient with resistant hypertension caused by a severe renal artery stenosis attributed to fibromuscular dysplasia, was submitted to conventional balloon angioplasty without success. Dilatation of the lesion with a cutting balloon resulted in arterial rupture, with concomitant retroperitoneal hematoma. CONCLUSION Cutting balloon angioplasty of renal artery lesions resistant to conventional balloon angioplasty should not be considered as safe as previously thought. When proceeding with such a procedure, a stent graft should be available for immediate use.

Fibromuscular dysplasia in an accessory renal artery causing renovascular hypertension: a case report
BACKGROUND Renovascular hypertension is defined as hypertension caused by renal artery stenosis. The two main etiologies are atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia. Fibromuscular dysplasia in an accessory renal artery as a cause of renovascular hypertension is uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION In this report, we present a relatively uncommon case of renovascular hypertension in a 35-year-old f...
متن کاملFibromuscular dysplasia of the renal artery as a cause of secondary hypertension.
Fibromuscular dysplasia is an uncommon cause of secondary hypertension. When the resulting hypertension cannot be successfully treated with medications, balloon angioplasty has been shown to be successful by disrupting the "webs" of tissue in the renal artery. We present a case of secondary hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia and the successful treatment with balloon angioplasty.

Hypertension has a long list of primary as well as secondary causes. Fibromuscular dysplasia is amongst the rare secon dary causes of hypertension.

We report a rare case of hypertension due to intimal fibromuscular dysplasia of renal artery, treated successfully with renal angioplasty an...

Fibromuscular dysplasia is a nonatherosclerotic and noninflammatory disease that can result in stenoses of the renal arteries and hypertension, most commonly affecting middle-aged women. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty has long been considered the mainstay of therapy and offers high rates of improved or cured hypertension. The disease involves the mid and distal renal arteries and branchp...

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), a vascular disease of unknown etiology, most often affects the renal arteries (85% of cases) of young females [1] . However, this disease may also produce areas of stenosis at the C1-C2 vertebral level in the internal carotid artery (ICA) [1, 2]. Lesions producing symptoms have been managed by bougie dilatation, surgical endarterectomy, excision and artery reconst...
