  • Title: Percutaneous transluminal carotid angioplasty in fibromuscular dysplasia. Case report.
    Author: Dublin AB, Baltaxe HA, Cobb CA.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1983 Jul; 59(1):162-5. PubMed ID: 6223132.
    Abstract:
    A patient with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) of the internal carotid artery was treated by balloon percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). This is the sixth reported case of FMD stenotic disease which was dilated by PTA. All previous cases including the current example were treated successfully with resolution of symptoms. This procedure is associated with a relatively low morbidity and is an alternative method of treatment to operative endarterectomy for this disorder.
