title: [Mesenteric syndrome following the repair of aortic coarctation. Pathogenetic and clinical findings].
abstract: Two cases of mesenteric syndrome were observed in 41 patients undergoing correction of aortic coarctation at the School of Heart and Large Vessel Surgery of the 1st Medical Faculty of Naples University. In the light of the latest theories regarding the pathogenesis of the mesenteric syndrome, post-operative arterial hypertension is held to be a decisive factor in the genesis of the complication. Control of pressure is therefore believed to be of considerable importance in the prevention and treatment of the syndrome.
