    Author: Ayik F, Engin C, Ertugay S, Atay Y.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2011 Nov; 26(6):659-62. PubMed ID: 22011330.
    Abstract:
    Middle aortic syndrome is a rare variation of aortic coarctation that is localized to the distal thoracic and abdominal aorta, and can involve the visceral and renal arteries. Irreversible organ damage and end-stage congestive heart failure may be the possible harmful complications of this disease in untreated patients. We report a three-year-old patient with diffuse thoracic and abdominal aorta hypoplasia treated with a thoracic to abdominal aortic bypass graft.
