[Renal arteriovenous fistula associated with fibromuscular dysplasia of the renal arteries]. / Fistule artérioveineuse rénale associée a une dysplasie fibromusculaire des artères rénales.

ABSTRACT

Three to 5% of hypertensive diseases have a renovascular origin. Atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia are the two major causes of renovascular hypertension. Association of renal arteriovenous fistula and fibromuscular dysplasia is uncommon. The authors propose to illustrate the usefulness of Doppler ultrasonography and digital subtraction angiography in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of a renal arteriovenous fistula associated with fibromuscular dysplasia discovered after severe preeclampsia in a 30 year-old woman.
