Abstract
A 68-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea and chest pain. She had undergone CABG 5 years earlier. Vascular examination revealed palpable radial pulses on both sides of the body; right brachial angiography revealed a “string of beads” pattern.
A 68-year-old woman presented with exertional dyspnea and chest pain, symptoms that suggested unstable angina. She had undergone coronary-artery bypass grafting 5 years earlier. Vascular examination revealed palpable radial pulses on both sides of the body. The results of Allen’s test, conducted with the use of plethysmography, were normal. Transradial coronary angiography was attempted, but there was difficulty advancing the guidewire and diagnostic catheter past the level of the elbow. Right brachial angiography revealed a “string of beads” pattern (arrows) that was consistent with fibromuscular dysplasia, a noninflammatory, nonatherosclerotic disorder of the blood vessels. Fibromuscular dysplasia is most commonly seen . . .
