Abstract |
A 61-year-old Japanese male was admitted to hospital due to severe congestive heart failure and pre- renal failure with middle aortic syndrome. The patient was successfully treated with emergent aortic angioplasty and kissing stents implantation whilst in a hemodynamically unstable state. Our experience confirms that stenosis of the descending aorta when treated with catheter intervention may be palliative, however, it was a very effective method for life threatening clinical conditions in the short and mid-term and may be an alternative to surgery.
