چكيده لاتين :
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 resonance angiography of
abdominal aorta , iliac and femoral arteries revealed local
stenosis of abdominal aorta below the renal arteries (80% of
luminal diameter). The length of coarctation was 3 em. The
patient was scheduled for percutaneous aortoplasty and stent
implantation. Nintinol self-expandable stent was implanted . At
9 months clinical follow up no signs or symptoms of stenosis
or diminished blood flow in lower extremities were found.
Self-expandable stent is effective, easy to implant, and has
good adaptation to the wall of aorta and can be considered in
such cases successfully.
