Intravenous digital subtraction angiography (IV-DSA) was compared with conventional arteriography (CA) in 14 patients with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) of at least one renal artery. IV-DSA identified 29 of the 34 renal arteries detected by CA. A diagnostic quality IV-DSA examination was obtained in 23 of 29 renal arteries (78%). In adequately imaged renal arteries, IV-DSA correctly identified 12 of 20 FMD renal arteries, misdiagnosed 8 FMD renal arteries as normal and correctly identified 3 normal renal arteries. These poor results, due to poor spatial resolution and subtraction artifacts inherent in the IV-DSA system, warrant careful interpretation of negative examinations and further evaluation of high risk patients.

D006978 Hypertension, Renovascular Hypertension due to RENAL ARTERY OBSTRUCTION or compression. Hypertension, Goldblatt,Goldblatt Syndrome,Goldblatt Hypertension,Renovascular Hypertension,Syndrome, Goldblatt
D011856 Radiographic Image Enhancement Improvement in the quality of an x-ray image by use of an intensifying screen, tube, or filter and by optimum exposure techniques. Digital processing methods are often employed. Digital Radiography,Image Enhancement, Radiographic,Radiography, Digital,Enhancement, Radiographic Image,Enhancements, Radiographic Image,Image Enhancements, Radiographic,Radiographic Image Enhancements
D012077 Renal Artery A branch of the abdominal aorta which supplies the kidneys, adrenal glands and ureters. Arteries, Renal,Artery, Renal,Renal Arteries
D012078 Renal Artery Obstruction Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR). Renal Artery Stenosis,Obstruction, Renal Artery,Obstructions, Renal Artery,Renal Artery Obstructions,Renal Artery Stenoses,Stenoses, Renal Artery,Stenosis, Renal Artery
D005352 Fibromuscular Dysplasia An idiopathic, segmental, nonatheromatous disease of the musculature of arterial walls, leading to STENOSIS of small and medium-sized arteries. There is true proliferation of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS and fibrous tissue. Fibromuscular dysplasia lesions are smooth stenosis and occur most often in the renal and carotid arteries. They may also occur in other peripheral arteries of the extremity.

D001157 Arterial Occlusive Diseases Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES. They are characterized by greatly reduced or absence of blood flow through these vessels. They are also known as arterial insufficiency.

D013382 Subtraction Technique Combination or superimposition of two images for demonstrating differences between them (e.g., radiograph with contrast vs. one without, radionuclide images using different radionuclides, radiograph vs. radionuclide image) and in the preparation of audiovisual materials (e.g., offsetting identical images, coloring of vessels in angiograms).
