  • Beschreibung: <jats:p> Fibromuscular dysplasia (syn. arterial dysplasia, fibromuscular hyperplasia, medial fibroplasia) is an arteriopathy of unknown etiology, most frequently involving the renal arteries. </jats:p><jats:p> The string-of-beads appearance of these lesions seems to be a characteristic angiographic finding.
