  • Title: [Rare complication of fibromuscular dysplasia of the internal carotid artery (author's transl)].
    Author: Hey A.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1980 Nov 21; 105(47):1654-8. PubMed ID: 7439048.
    Abstract:
    Following resection of an angiographically demonstrated fibromuscular stenosis of the renal artery--the cause of long-standing arteria hypertension--there occurred a thrombotic occlusion of the fibromuscular-dysplastic internal carotid artery from which the 34-year-old woman died. The treatment of choice of fibromuscular stenosis of the renal artery with renovascular hypertension is resection of the stenosis with revascularisation or nephrectomy. Since fibromuscular dysplasia is a generalised vascular disease in which all arteries of the muscular type may participate, angiography of the extra-renal, in particular cervical, arteries should be performed preoperatively in addition to the renal artery angiograms.
