Abstract
We experienced a case with atherosclerotic renal artery (RA) stenosis mimicking fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). In this case, renal angiography, which is considered the ‘gold standard’ for diagnosing FMD, demonstrated a typical ‘string-of-beads’ sign. However, integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) showed severe atherosclerotic stenosis of the RA with a large amount of lipid pool. Therefore, we decided to perform adjunctive stent implantation which is considered optimal treatment of atherosclerotic RA stenosis.
