Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Arterial Diseases
  • Medical Conditions

Context:

  • Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a rare, non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory arterial disease.
  • It accounts for less than 1% of all occlusive artery lesions.
  • FMD is more prevalent in young female patients, representing 3-5% of arterial lesions in this demographic.

Purpose:

  • To discuss the etiopathogeny, prevalence, and treatment of fibromuscular dysplasia.
  • To present the authors' surgical experience with 21 renal and 10 carotid artery lesions due to FMD.

Summary:

  • Fibromuscular dysplasia primarily affects the renal and carotid arteries.
  • The study reviews the disease's origins, how common it is, and available treatments.
  • Surgical outcomes for 31 patients with FMD lesions are detailed.

Impact:

  • Provides insights into the management of fibromuscular dysplasia.
  • Contributes to understanding the surgical treatment of FMD in renal and carotid arteries.
  • Highlights the importance of considering FMD in young women with arterial occlusive disease.
