Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Vertebral Artery Dissecting Aneurysm in Fibromuscular Dysplasia

Abstract Background Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) affects predominantly the cervical and renal arteries and may cause the classical angiographic pattern of string-of-beads. The diagnosis is increasing with the advances of imaging techniques. Case Report A 37-year-old man pr...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) affects predominantly the cervical and renal arteries and may cause the classical angiographic pattern of string-of-beads. The diagnosis is increasing with the advances of imaging techniques. Case Report A 37-year-old man presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a dissecting aneurysm of the vertebral artery was treated by angioplasty with stent, with good outcome. All of the cervical and renal arteries were diseased and showed dysplasia and/or ectasias. Conclusions There are no guidelines or protocols to treat patients with FMD.
