Abstract
A 47-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of severe proximal clau dication symptoms in both legs. Digital subtraction aortography (DSA) showe d a localized occlusion of the infrarenal abdominal aorta. A longitudinal a rteriotomy and an endarterectomy of the aorta were performed. The arterioto my was closed with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patch. Postoperatively, the follow-up demonstrated a normal aorta with all pedal pulses palpable. In patients with the above symptoms, middle aortic syndrome should be inclu ded in the differential diagnosis.
