We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with right renal artery stenosis caused by fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty. Using OCT, we could clearly observe intimal fibroplasia and medial hyperplasia that was indicative of FMD. Based on diagnosis of FMD by OCT, this patient was treated with plain old balloon angioplasty that resulted in adequate luminal opening without intimal dissection confirmed on final angiography and OCT. < Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is most often diagnosed based on its characteristic appearance on angiography but it is insufficient. Although pathological examination is needed for definite diagnosis, it is not realistic. Therefore, it is important to assess the detailed intravascular findings of culprit and non-culprit lesions in FMD with optical coherence tomography.>.

Renal artery (RA) anomaly is common and may have significant clinical implications. We present a case of a 29-year-old man in whom the upper two-thirds of the right kidney were supplied by the right internal mammary artery and collateral network. Additionally, the superior left RA had proximal stenosis with a distal aneurysm.

Background: Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) is a rare but serious complication after carotid artery revascularization. This study aims to determine the impact of carotid artery stenting (CAS) modality on the incidence, severity and overall outcomes of CHS after carotid revascularization.
Methods: Data from patients who underwent CAS with either distal embolic protection (CAS+DEP) or transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) were obtained from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database 2016-2023.

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory vascular disease of medium-sized arteries that causes abnormal cellular growth in arterial walls and most commonly affects young to middle-aged women (20-50 years of age). While FMD often involves the renal arteries, it can affect any arterial bed. FMD has a characteristic angiographic appearance of a "string of beads.

Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disorder predominantly affecting women aged 18 to 65 years. This case report highlights a 74-year-old female diagnosed with FMD incidentally during evaluation for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Imaging revealed significant vascular anomalies, including a giant intracranial carotid aneurysm and a hypoplastic iliac vein with extensive collateral formation.

Acute ischemic stroke, a medical emergency caused by reduced cerebral blood flow, results in brain cell damage. While commonly associated with older individuals, strokes can also occur in young and middle-aged adults, posing significant socio-economic and health challenges due to the long-term impact of the condition. This poses significant socio-economic and health challenges because stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality.
