Urgent Aortic Stenting for Acquired Atheromatous Coarctation of Aorta Presenting as Acute Aortic Ob- struction and Multiorgan Failure
نویسندگان
چکیده
65 years gentleman presented to emergency department with upper body hypertensive urgency, heart failure and renal shut down. He had recently undergone aortography and CT angiography which revealed severe atheromatous narrowing of upper descending thoracic aorta, well below the origin of left subclavian artery, with maximal stenosis of 85% at D5-D6 vertebrae level. Urgent aortic stenting with covered stent saved this patient with acquired atheromatous coarctation presenting as acute aortic obstruction and multiorgan failure.

Acquired Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Coarctation: Treatment with Percutaneous Self Expandable Stent
Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...
متن کاملImmediate and Short-term Follow-Up of Aortic Coarctation Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting
Background Aortic Coarcatation (CoA) is one of the congenital heart diseases with the rate of 5-8% of Coronary heart diseases(CHDs). Balloon angioplasty is now one of the effective way of treatment for CoA, native or Re-coarctation (Re-CoA). We aimed to assess the immediate, and short term response to angioplasty and stenting, and also complications. Materials and Methods Balloon angioplasty wi...
متن کاملAcute Type A Dissection and Acute Inferior MI Complicating Aortic Coarctation: A Case Report
Aortic coarctation is a rare but dangerous condition. Presence of aortic dissection in addition to coarctation is significantly rarer and more life-threatening. Here, we present a case of acute inferior MI due to aortic dissection complicating a native aortic coarctation. A 17-year-old boy was admitted to our emergency department due to severe chest pain and loss of consciousness. His ele...
متن کاملSupersized Atheroma Causing Acquired Coarctation of Aorta Leading to Heart Failure
Calcified atheromatous aortic lesion causing significant narrowing of the aorta is an uncommon clinical entity. This calcified atheroma leads to obstruction of the lumen of the aorta simulating acquired coarctation of aorta causing impaired perfusion of lower limbs, visceral ischemia, and hypertension. We report a case of 58-year-old patient who presented with dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, pa...
متن کاملEndovascular management of an acquired aortobronchial fistula following aortic bypass for coarctation.
Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) in the setting of aortic coarctation repair is very rare but uniformly fatal if untreated. Endovascular stenting of the descending aorta is now the first-choice approach for ABF presenting with haemoptysis and offers a less-invasive technique with improved outcomes, compared with open repair. We report a case of late ABF occurring following bypass for aortic coarcta...
