Obstructive calcification of the thoracic aorta appears as acquired coarctation of the aorta. The case we present is of note because it presented as a dilated cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis, suspected on chest X-ray, was confirmed by catheterization, aortic angiography and thoracic computer tomography. The patient underwent aortic endarterectomy, but died in the post-operative period. Review of the literature shows that the pathogenesis of the condition remains unclear.
胸主动脉阻塞性钙化表现为后天性主动脉缩窄。我们所呈现的这个病例值得关注，因为它最初表现为扩张型心肌病。通过胸部X线检查怀疑的诊断，经心导管检查、主动脉血管造影和胸部计算机断层扫描得以证实。该患者接受了主动脉内膜切除术，但在术后死亡。文献回顾表明，该病的发病机制仍不清楚。
