  • Title: Abdominal aortic coarctation, renovascular, hypertension, and neurofibromatosis.

    Abstract:
    Abdominal aortic coarctation and renal artery stenosis associated with neurofibromatosis is an unusual cause of renovascular hypertension in children and young adults. Sustained hypertension despite pharmacological treatment carries significant end-organ deterioration, failure to thrive, and potentially lethal complications. Timely arterial reconstruction can render these children normotensive, allowing normal development and reducing long-term morbidity. Progression of the arterial occlusive process, however, may occur after surgery. Therefore, careful follow-up is mandatory following aortorenal reconstruction in children with neurofibromatosis.
