چکیده

A 46-year old male patient was admitted with a history of an extremely painful right upper arm, associated with unilateral clubbing. Duplex scanning and magnetic resonance imaging were suggestive of a pseudo-aneurysm of the brachial artery. Digital angiography showed an irregular brachial artery, associated with a small pseudo-aneurysm. The brachial artery was partially resected and reconstructed with a venous interposition graft. Pathological examination provided the final diagnosis of fibromuscular dysplasia. Although more encountered in women, this case report describes the occurrence of fibromuscular dysplasia in an unusual location in a male patient with a long-term follow-up.

Case Report A rare case report of bilateral brachial fibromuscular dysplasia and literature review

We present a 46-year-old woman with bilateral brachial arterial fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) causing a systolic murmur in the antecubital fossa of the bilateral brachial. The diagnosis relied on angiography, by which “string-of-beads” sign in bilateral brachial arteries was found. The literatures on bilateral brachial arterial fibromuscular dysplasia were reviewed.

Acute aortic dissection and stroke in multivessel fibromuscular dysplasia.

Fibromuscular dysplasia is a rare, nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease that typically affects women between the ages of 20 and 60 years. Although any artery can be affected, fibromuscular dysplasia most commonly affects the renal and carotid arteries. Fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal arteries usually presents with hypertension, while carotid or vertebral artery disease caus...

Vascular Function in Fibromuscular Dysplasia

Background: There have been no studies to date on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of how fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) affects vascular function. Due to the perturbations in the blood vessel wall and the propensity for stenosis, dissection, and aneurysms seen in arteries with FMD, subjects with FMD may have impairment in endothelial function and abnormalities in arterial compliance. Methods: Tw...

Images in cardiovascular medicine. "String of beads" appearance of bilateral brachial artery in fibromuscular dysplasia.

A 56-year-old woman presented with chest discomfort and underwent coronary angiography via a transradial route. Left brachial artery stenosis was suspected because of difficulty in passing with a 0.035-inch guide wire. Upperextremity angiography showed presence of multiple stenoses and aneurysmal dilatations in her brachial artery (Figure 1). Subsequent to catheterization, the patient received ...

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...
