Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) Program

Comprehensive Care for Beaded Blood Vessels

Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) occurs when blood vessels in your body contain fibrous cells which can lead to narrowing (stenosis) and beading of the arteries. The vessels can narrow or tear (dissection) or dilate (aneurysm), leading to problems such as stroke and high blood pressure.

We provide specialized treatment and management for patients with FMD. Our program is part of the Johns Hopkins Center for Vascular Medicine. Our patient registry helps us learn more about this rare condition and make advancements in treatment for FMD.
