Fig 1 A 54-year-old woman underwent angiography of the carotid arteries before surgery for a carotid body tumor. A, Left carotid artery injection demonstrates a carotid body tumor (arrow), and medial fibroplasia (small arrows) that were incidentally discovered. B, Outpouching (arrow) commonly seen in patients with medial fibroplasia may represent a small pseudoaneurysm. (Han DK, Fishman EW, Walkup MH, Olin JW, Marin ML, Faries PL.

Fig 2 A, A catheter-based angiogram in a 35-year-old woman with new-onset of severe high blood pressure demonstrated fibromuscular dysplasia of the right renal artery (black arrows) and two small aneurysms (6 mm) more distally (white arrows). B, Aortogram in a patient with medial fibroplasia of the middle and distal renal arteries and the branches shows a large marginal artery (arrow) indicating severe disease or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. There is also fibromuscular dysplasia of the celiac and superior mesenteric artery (not shown).

Fig 3 A 48-year-old man presented with bilateral flank pain and increased serum creatinine. A, There is a concentric severe stenosis (arrow) of the right renal artery characteristic of intimal disease. B, There is a dissection (arrow) in the left renal artery with dilatation of the distal main renal artery and infarction of the upper pole of the left kidney (not shown).

Fig 4 A, Typical medial fibroplasia of the right internal carotid artery. Note the “beading” is located in the middle and distal portion of the internal carotid artery, whereas atherosclerosis occurs at the origin of the internal carotid artery. B, This 51-year-old patient demonstrates severe tortuosity of the left internal carotid artery. She has medial fibroplasia of the renal arteries and an occluded right internal carotid artery from dissection.
