Overview

Revascularization by surgical intervention or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) , are not the first-line treatment options for patients with FMD, however in cases of FMD-related RAS with signs of downstream reduction of renal function or in case of drug-resistant HTN vascular reconstruction should be considered.

Indications

• there are no evidence-based guidelines and randomized, controlled trials comparing revascularization and medical therapy in patints with FMD; but ssurgery is usually reserved for patients with either:.
  • [HTN of recent onset with goal of cure]
  • [drug resistance or intolerance]
  • [renal artey dissection]
  • [Renal artery aneurysm]
  • [preservation of renal function or prevent renal size reduction]

Surgery

• The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.

OR

• Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].
