  • Title: [Hypoplasia of the abdominal aorta. Review of the literature apropos of 4 cases].
    Author: Giraud C, Cuq P, Tasrini J, Cérène A, Bastide G, Puel P.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1985 Jun; 78(6):931-7. PubMed ID: 3929720.
    Abstract:
    The authors report 4 cases of abdominal aortic hypoplasia and, reviewing the literature, recall the anatomical classifications and the clinical aspects predominated by arterial hypertension and arterial claudication. Pathogenesis does not seem to be univocal and some arguments are in favor of a congenital origin when others plead for an acquired inflammatory disease. But above forty one must consider the possible responsibility of added atheroma. The numerous operative techniques point out the difficulties encountered in the treatment of the aortic lesions and associated arterial, mainly renal lesions. The polymorphism and complexity of these lesions oblige to vary the choice of indications.
