A teenage girl with midaortic syndrome underwent surgical bypass to alleviate uncontrolled hypertension, suggesting potential for similar cases.
Midaortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease, characterized by the narrowing of the distal thoracic and/or abdominal aorta, commonly affecting children and teenagers. Uncontrolled hypertension in these patients can lead to serious life-threatening complications. We describe a teenage girl with MAS and uncontrolled hypertension who underwent surgical bypass of the diseased midaortic segment and bilateral renal arteries. On follow-up, the patient is normotensive, sans medications.
