biostudies-literatureUnknown9Hong MWhether fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a progressive disease, remains unclear. We reported a case of focal renal artery FMD that slowly progressed to a branching artery over a few years after the angioplasty without in-stent restenosis, which reconfirms that focal FMD is progressive and that such progression may be segmental. Stenting may be an option for young, risk factor-free patients with focal FMD.Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine1008308https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9713009biostudies-literatureCase report: Recurrence of hypertension after renal artery angioplasty due to the progression of focal renal fibromuscular dysplasia.PMC9713009Hong MKang YWang JXu JfalseCase report: Recurrence of hypertension after renal artery angioplasty due to the progression of focal renal fibromuscular dysplasia.Whether fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a progressive disease, remains unclear.
