  2. Fibromuscular dysplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibromuscular_dysplasia

    Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a non-atherosclerotic, non-inflammatory disease of the blood vessels that causes abnormal growth within the wall of an artery. [1] FMD has been found in nearly every arterial bed in the body, although the most commonly affected are the renal and carotid arteries. [1] [2] [3]

  3. Renal artery stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_artery_stenosis

    Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the narrowing of one or both of the renal arteries, most often caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia.This narrowing of the renal artery can impede blood flow to the target kidney, resulting in renovascular hypertension – a secondary type of high blood pressure.

  4. Hyperaldosteronism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperaldosteronism

    Secondary hyperaldosteronism (also hyperreninism, or hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism) is due to overactivity of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS).. The causes of secondary hyperaldosteronism are accessory renal veins, fibromuscular dysplasia, reninoma, renal tubular acidosis, nutcracker syndrome, ectopic tumors, massive ascites, left ventricular failure, and cor pulmonale.

  7. Moyamoya disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moyamoya_disease

    Moyamoya disease is a disease in which certain arteries in the brain are constricted. Blood flow is blocked by constriction and blood clots (). [2]A collateral circulation develops around the blocked vessels to compensate for the blockage, but the collateral vessels are small, weak, and prone to bleeding, aneurysm and thrombosis.

  9. Vertebrobasilar insufficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrobasilar_insufficiency

    The most common cause of arterial stenosis is atherosclerosis, however other pathologies such as fibromuscular dysplasia, dissection, trauma or external compression may occur. [2] Atherosclerotic plaque can rupture, resulting in a source of emboli. These emboli can cause TIAs or strokes in the areas of the brain supplied by the affected artery.
