4. Fig. 3
Arteriogram reveals not only typical “beads” and “webs” of fibromuscular dysplasia (arrows) but a prominent kink at the level of C-2 and C-3.

5. Fig. 4
After operative balloon dilatation dysplastic deformities have resolved. Prominent kink is no longer present after segmental resection of the distal common carotid artery.

6. Fig. 5
A prominent dissection (arrowheads) resulted from antegrade placement of the Intracath into the internal carotid artery for the operative arteriogram. Irregularity over its proximal 2 cm is also evident.
