title: Abdominal aortic coarctation with splanchnic arterial occlusion.
abstract: Abdominal aortic coarctation is found in only 2% of aortic coarctation and is usually manifested by renovascular hypertension. Splanchnic arterial occlusive lesions occur in 22% of these patients and are exceptionally symptomatic. We present a case report of a young patient with abdominal aortic coarctation causing hypertension and visceral angina. The aetiopathogeny and treatment are discussed.
