A problem in hemodialysis management: fibromuscular dysplasia of radial and ulnar arteries--report of a case.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (medial type) of the radial and ulna arteries, hitherto unreported, has been demonstrated angiographically following the malfunction of an arteriovenous shunt created for dialysis. Retrograde dilatation of the segmental stenoses caused some improvement in flow. No causal relationship is claimed between fibromuscular dysplasia and the arteriovenous shunt.
