Percutaneous intervention successfully treated a 28-year-old woman with intimal fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal artery presenting with severe renovascular hypertension during pregnancy.
Case Report (n=1)
Percutaneous intervention can be a successful treatment for severe renovascular hypertension caused by intimal fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal artery.
Supports percutaneous intervention feasibility in pregnant patients with renovascular hypertension from fibromuscular dysplasia; leaves open need for prospective safety data.
responsible for around 2-5% of total hypertensive population.Among patients with renovascular hypertension (RVH), incidence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is about 80-90%, whereas fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is responsible only for around 10% patients.Intimal fibroplasia occurs in less than 10% of all the patients with FMD.We report a rare case of 28-year-old lady who had newly detected hypertension during 12th week of pregnancy later leading to intra-uterine death of the fetus at 28 weeks of gestation, and then she was referred to us for evaluation and management and found to have intimal fibromuscular dysplasia of renal artery, which was treated successfully with percutaneous intervention.
