ABSTRACT=<p>Whether fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a progressive disease, remains unclear. We reported a case of focal renal artery FMD that slowly progressed to a branching artery over a few years after the angioplasty without in-stent restenosis, which reconfirms that focal FMD is progressive and that such progression may be segmental. Stenting may be an option for young, risk factor-free patients with focal FMD.</p>
