Key result
Endoscope-assisted thoraco-abdominal aortic bypass grafting was safe and feasible in a 26-year-old woman with middle aortic syndrome, reducing surgical trauma.
Why the study?
Conventional thoraco-abdominal aortic bypass grafting for middle aortic syndrome is associated with significant surgical trauma.
Case Report (n=1)
Endoscope-assisted thoraco-abdominal aortic bypass grafting is a safe and feasible approach to reduce surgical trauma in patients with middle aortic syndrome.
Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease characterized by distal thoracic aorta or abdominal aorta coarctation, and thoraco-abdominal aortic bypass grafting is an effective treatment for this condition. However, significant trauma is associated with the conventional surgical approach. We report a 26-year-old woman with MAS who presented with hypertension and needed thoraco-abdominal bypass grafting. In this operation, we adopted the endoscopic technique to improve the conventional surgical approach (reduce the incision). This case report shows that it is safe and feasible to use an endoscopic technique to reduce the trauma during this kind of operation, and provides a reference for similar treatments.

Li et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) (n=1). Thoraco-abdominal aortic bypass grafting assisted by endoscope was evaluated on Safety and feasibility (reduction of trauma/incision). Endoscope-assisted thoraco-abdominal aortic bypass grafting was safe and feasible in a 26-year-old woman with middle aortic syndrome, reducing surgical trauma.
