Abstract

A 47-year-old female with fibromuscular dysplasia of both external iliac arteries was treated by percutaneous balloon catheter angioplasty. The immediate result was unsatisfactory. On discharge from hospital, the patient was only able to walk one kilometer, and had reduced ankle:arm blood pressure indices. Conservative treatment with anticoagulants for three months, followed by ticlopidine, and exercise for six months led to complete recovery.
