A patient with fibromuscular dysplasia involving the cervical carotid artery developed subtotal occlusion after a trivial head injury. An association between occlusion in fibromuscular dysplasia-diseased carotid arteries and trivial blunt head injuries is suggested and appropriate treatment options are discussed.

Chronic total occlusion of renal artery in symptomatic young patient with resistant hypertension: is a revascularization necessary or redundant?

Article Synopsis
- Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a condition where the renal artery is narrowed by 60% or more, most commonly due to atherosclerotic plaques, affecting 5-10% of the population; rare causes include fibromuscular dysplasia and vasculitis.
- The standard diagnostic method for RAS is digital subtraction angiography (DSA), but other imaging techniques like Doppler ultrasonography and CT angiography are also important.
- Treatment typically involves percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), and a case study highlights a 19-year-old patient who benefitted from using a paclitaxel-coated balloon to restore renal artery function and reduce hypertension.

Article Synopsis
- * Postmortem examinations showed that the manatee suffered from various health issues, including aortic stenosis, left ventricular hypertrophy, and a plastic bag lodged in its esophagus, alongside cold stress symptoms.
- * Blood tests indicated systemic inflammation and potential coagulation problems, while heart-related findings included severe cardiac abnormalities; however, the exact cause of these cardiovascular issues remains undetermined.
Lodged Thrombus: A Pitfall for Diagnosing Carotid Web Using Contrast-Angiography.

Carotid web, a form of fibromuscular dysplasia, involves a thin, membrane-like tissue in the carotid bulb that can cause thrombus formation and is linked to cryptogenic ischemic stroke. Diagnosis typically relies on detecting a shelf-like filling defect in digital subtraction angiography or 3D-CT angiography. We report a case of the symptomatic carotid web that could not be diagnosed using DSA or 3D-CT angiography due to a lodged thrombus but was successfully identified through carotid ultrasonography.

Article Synopsis
- A 25-year-old woman developed a secondary renal artery aneurysm after her main renal artery was occluded, leading to an enlarged aneurysm despite having normal kidney function.
- Imaging showed a 2.2 mm left renal aneurysm with blood supply coming from collateral branches of the aorta, allowing for successful treatment through embolization.
- Post-treatment, the patient's hypertension significantly improved over three years, highlighting the need for regular monitoring of individuals with similar vascular conditions.

Renal artery occlusion is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of paediatric endovascular renal artery intervention. Emergency auto-transplantation may be required to salvage the kidney; to date this has only been described in adults. We report our experience of performing emergency kidney auto-transplantation following acute renal artery thrombosis in a child undergoing redo renal artery angioplasty A 20-month-old boy presented with refractory hypertension and hypertensive cardiomyopathy secondary to multifocal fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) with a single functioning kidney.
