Abstract:
We report a case of hypertensive heart failure with severe stenosis of the descending aorta. The patient had hypertension; however, he had not previously received any antihypertensive treatment. After receiving antihypertensive therapy for 2 weeks, he was admitted to our hospital for acute heart failure. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed severe arteriosclerotic stenosis of the descending aorta above the renal artery bifurcation. He underwent aortic resection and grafting. After surgery, his condition improved, and he was discharged.
