title: Endovascular treatment of renal artery aneurysm secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia: a case report.
abstract: We present a case where a saccular aneurysm of the left renal artery in a patient with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) was successfully treated by an endovascular approach utilizing two covered 6 x 22 mm stent grafts. Aneurysm formation is a known complication of FMD. There are multiple treatment options for dealing with these aneurysms, both open and endovascular. This case report describes management of a left renal artery aneurysm with covered stents.
