Abstract:
A patient with a localized severe stenosis of his lower thoracic aorta is described. He presented a coarctation like syndrome with hypertension, pulseless legs and left ventricular failure. At surgery a biopsy of the lesion and bypass graft were performed. Pathology diagnosed intimal hyperplasia. Twenty eight months later he developed a sarcoma.
