Middle Aortic Syndrome with Superior Mesenteric and Bilateral Renal Artery Involvement: Unusual Type of Aortic Coarctation
نویسنده
چکیده
Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) is very uncommon vascular pathology characterized by a long segmental narrowing or obstruction of the abdominal and/or distal thoracic aorta, commonly involving with the visceral and renal arteries. This syndrome may be presented with various physical signs of coarctation of the aorta, including resistant hypertension, renal insufficiency and/or mesenteric ischemia. Here, we report a case of a 64-year-old man with severe hypertension. He was diagnosed with MAS associated with stenosis of visceral and renal vessels by use of computed tomography and magnetic resonance angiography. (J Korean Soc Hypertens 2013;19(1):39-43)

Thoracoabdominal aortic replacement for abdominal aortic aneurysm with atypical coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta following mitral valve plasty.
We successfully treated a case of a 65-year-old female with an abdominal aortic aneurysm coexisting with an atypical coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta and celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery occlusion. A dilated inferior mesenteric artery was supplying the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery regions. The patient also had mitral regurgitation. After a mitral valve plasty, we ...

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...

Hypertension affect about 1% of patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Major causes are concomitant pheocromocytoma in adults and renovascular hypertension in children. In most cases, NF1 is associated with renal artery stenosis, smooth cell proliferation and advential fibrosis. We describe a 16 year old girl with hypertension complicating NF1 secondary to severe coarctation of abdominal...
متن کاملDisease Beyond the Arch: A Systematic Review of Middle Aortic Syndrome in Childhood.
BACKGROUND Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare clinical entity in childhood, characterized by a severe narrowing of the distal thoracic and/or abdominal aorta, and associated with significant morbidity and mortality. MAS remains a relatively poorly defined disease. This paper systematically reviews the current knowledge on MAS with respect to etiology, clinical impact, and therapeutic option...

cating artery was first described by Robinson and demonstrated on angiography by Isherwood and Dutton, 44 cases have been reported (1, 2). Most cases demonstrate unilateral involvement and only 10 cases of bilateral involvement have been reported out of the 45 cases, including the case described in this report. Although cerebral aneurysms are frequently associated with this congenital anomaly, ...
