  • Title: Long-term complications in two patients after aortoaortic bypass for midaortic syndrome.
    Author: Go MR, Bhende S, Smead WL, Vaccaro PS.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2013 May; 27(4):499.e9-12. PubMed ID: 23618594.
    Abstract:
    The midaortic syndrome (MAS) refers to descending thoracic and abdominal aortic coarctation, which is rare and most common in the pediatric population. Open surgical repair, often with aortoaortic bypass, remains a highly effective treatment and is traditionally thought to be definitive despite concerns over patient growth postoperatively. This article presents 2 cases of MAS treated with aortoaortic bypass who developed long-term complications, one related to patient growth and the other to graft-enteric fistula. Consideration must be given to patient growth at operation for MAS, and long-term follow-up is necessary to identify other complications.
