Abstract: | Atypical coarctation of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta is a very uncommon vascular disease. Congenital, acquired,
inflammatory, and infectious etiologies have been proposed. Patients typically presents with uncontrolled secondary hypertension
in the upper half of the body or hypotension in the lower extremities in the first three decades of their lives. We report
the case of a 20-year-old man with severe hypertension. Diffuse coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta associated with bilateral
renal artery stenosis was demonstrated clearly by multidetector CT angiography. This is the first case of atypical aortic
coarctation diagnosed by MDCTA. |
