| Abstract | Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a disease of unknown aetiology, first typically presenting in the medium and large arteries of young to middle-aged women. It was first described by Leadbetter and Burkland in 1938 and is most commonly noted to involve the renal vessels. The management of FMD with severely stenotic and symptomatic lesions has historically been surgical.
It has been shown previously that percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) works well in the setting of renal artery FMD.
We report a case where PTA was used in the treatment of a patient with severe symptomatic internal carotid FMD.
The results in this case appear to suggest that angioplasty can be used as a treatment for internal carotid FMD with good clinical resolution of symptoms. Further studies are required to assess efficacy, durability, and complication rates. |
