  Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a nonatherosclerotic noninflammatory vascular disease that primarily affects women from age 20 to 60, but may also occur in infants and children, men, and the elderly. […] FMD has been considered rare and thus is often underdiagnosed and poorly understood by many health care providers. […] When it affects the renal arteries, the most common presentation is hypertension. […] Treatment consists of antiplatelet therapy for asymptomatic individuals and percutaneous balloon angioplasty for patients with indications for intervention. […] Patients with aneurysms should be treated with a covered stent or open surgical repair.

  Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) is a vascular disease that causes one or more arteries in the body to have abnormal cell development in the artery wall. As a result, areas of narrowing of the arteries, called stenosis, may occur, which could lead to a decrease in blood flow through the artery. FMD commonly is found in the arteries that supply blood to the brain and kidney. Individuals with FMD are at risk for artery blockages, hypertension, stroke, and aneurysm.

[…] For example, patients are often diagnosed with the condition in one vascular segment, such as the carotid artery. However, up to 80% of those patients will also have it in other arteries. That is why physicians at UVA Health screen FMD patients’ vascular system from head to pelvis.

  Physical and occupational therapy and speech therapy may be important aspects of care in fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) should neurologic deficits exist. Neurorehabilitation generally helps to recover function if any residual neurologic deficits are present. […] Partly because of the unknown etiology of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD), no curative therapy exists. Fortunately, FMD is often benign when asymptomatic, and medical treatment is not indicated. Patients presenting with hypertension should be evaluated by a nephrologist and possibly considered for vascular intervention. […] If only FMD is identified on angiography, medical treatment usually incorporates antiplatelet agents, similar to the treatment of atherosclerotic disease. Often, daily aspirin is considered first-line therapy, and another antiplatelet agent is substituted or added if another ischemic event occurs (such as clopidogrel or combination acetylsalicylic acid and extended-release dipyridamole).

  Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic arterial disease that is a significant cause of secondary hypertension. […] The patient was commenced on antihypertensive agents including a calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine) and a renin-angiotensin system blocker (Irbesartan). […] All patients received antiplatelet treatment and renin-angiotensin system blockade on an individual risk-benefit basis, as well as being commenced on a lipid-lowering agent. […] Early investigation of at-risk older adults presenting with uncontrolled hypertension and lower thresholds for screening with imaging tests (i.e. CT/MR angiogram) should be encouraged, to reduce false negatives and aid early diagnosis. […] Whilst current standard management of fibromuscular dysplasia involves prescription of antiplatelet agents and renin-angiotensin system blockade for blood pressure control and angioplasty in cases of resistant hypertension, perhaps the involvement of a multidisciplinary fibromuscular dysplasia care team would be more pertinent in older adults for an individualised approach in managing this uncommon condition.

  Fibromuscular dysplasia essentially happens when there is irregular thickening of the blood vessel wall. […] Treatment options for FMD depends on where the lesion is. For patients with renal FMD, the general treatment is to control hypertension with at least two antihypertensive medications, which include, but are not limited to, ACE inhibitors like Prinivil and ARBs like losartan. If the patient fails medication regimen, surgical revascularization is recommended. Patients with FMD to the carotid artery are managed with aspirin, with stenting if the patient is symptomatic.
