Middle Aortic Syndrome: From Presentation to Contemporary Open Surgical and Endovascular Treatment

Abstract: Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) is a clinical condition generated by segmental narrowing of the abdominal or distal descending thoracic aorta. MAS may be acquired, caused by Takayasu's or temporal arteritis (giant cell arteritides), neurofibromatosis, fibromuscular dysplasia, retroperitoneal fibrosis, mucopolysaccharidosis, and the Williams syndrome, or congenital, ascribed to a developmental anomaly in the fusion and maturation of the paired embryonic dorsal aortas. Segmental aortic stenosis may be located at th… Show more

“…Many anatomic and morphologic patterns have been described for this syndrome. 2 Although the calcific component was suggestive of atherosclerotic degeneration, the descending thoracic aorta was the only vessel involved, whereas the splanchnic arteries, the infrarenal aorta, the iliac arteries, the supra-aortic trunks, and the coronary arteries all appeared normal. We searched the literature to better identify this clinical case.…”

“…1 It may be caused by congenital or inflammatory disorders, whose commonest disease is the Takayasu arteritis. 2 A similar nosologic entity is the ''coral reef aorta,'' which however involves the portion between the diaphragm and the suprarenal part of this vessel (visceral aorta). 3 Mild stenosis may be completely asymptomatic; with the progression of the disease, symptoms may arise, such as dyspnea, lipothymic episodes, fatigue, headache, upper limb hypertension, and lower limb hypoperfusion with claudication.…”

“…Изучение почек при коарктации аорты вызывает повышенный интерес у клиници-стов [14,16]. При постстенотической гипотен-зии у больных развивается сопутствующий стеноз почечных артерий [14,15], ишемия по-чек [15], появляются признаки хронической почечной недостаточности [17].…”

“…При постстенотической гипотен-зии у больных развивается сопутствующий стеноз почечных артерий [14,15], ишемия по-чек [15], появляются признаки хронической почечной недостаточности [17]. Сведения о функциональном состоянии почек у больных коарктацией аорты весьма противоречивы: одни исследователи указывают на его грубые нарушения другие -не отмечают выражен-ных расстройств [12].…”

“…1 It is characterized by segmental narrowing of the distal thoracic or abdominal aorta and stenosis of one or both renal arteries and major splanchnic vessels. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Diagnosis of MAS in premature infants is rare; this report describes the presentation and clinical course in two such patients.…”
