| Abstract: | The case of a patient with abdominal angina due to fibromuscular dysplasia is described. Arteriography revealed dysplasia of both renal arteries and occlusion at their origins of both coeliac and mesenteric arteries. Digital subtraction angiography later showed fibromuscular dysplasia of both carotid artery systems. An unusually long right internal iliac artery allowed it to be anastomosed to the superior mesenteric artery. Follow-up studies have confirmed patency of this reconstruction. |
