Stenotic lesions of the descending aorta are rare causes of coarctation of the aorta. The majority of cases of atypical coarctation are thought to be caused by Takayasu's arteritis. This report describes an atypical coarctation of the descending aorta treated with angioplasty and stent placement. Patency of the stent and control of the hypertension at 2 and a half years suggest that endovascular treatment of atypical coarctation may be successful with the use of mechanical stents and may be an alternative to surgical correction.
降主动脉狭窄性病变是主动脉缩窄的罕见病因。大多数非典型主动脉缩窄病例被认为是由高安动脉炎引起的。本报告描述了一例接受血管成形术和支架置入治疗的降主动脉非典型缩窄病例。支架在2年半时的通畅情况以及高血压的控制表明，使用机械支架对非典型主动脉缩窄进行血管内治疗可能会取得成功，并且可能是手术矫正的一种替代方法。
