Abstract:
A 59-year-old woman has presented symptoms of fatigue since January 1996. Atypical coarctation due to aortitis syndrome had been diagnosed 8 years earlier. Her upper-limb blood pressure was 200mmHg and antihypertensive drugs were administered. An aortogram showed severe stenoses of the aorta at the level of the diaphragm and renal artery. A computed tomogram showed extensive calcification of the aorta below the origin of the left subclavian artery. She underwent a bypass operation with a 16-mm-diameter prosthetic graft from the ascending aorta to the infrarenal abdominal aorta. She has progressed well after the bypass and her upper-limb blood pressure is almost normal.
