What is the purpose of Operative Balloon Angioplasty in the treatment of Internal Carotid Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia?
Operative Balloon Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat Internal Carotid Artery Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD). It is performed by inserting a catheter into the artery and inflating the balloon to widen the artery, allowing greater blood flow. This procedure is typically used as a last resort when other treatments, such as lifestyle changes, medications, or even surgery, fail to improve the condition. It can also be used to reduce the risk of stroke or other complications associated with FMD.
