Abstract
A case of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) of the internal carotid artery was treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) using a Grüntzig balloon. A control angiographic study performed with intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV DSA) showed a completely patent dilated vessel. This result, together with the total relief of clinical signs and symptoms, is evidence of the value of PTA in the treatment of FMD of the internal carotid artery.Entities:
