Reversal of Severe Cardiorenal Dysfunction After Correction of Late-Onset Aortic Obstruction in an Adult Patient
Aortic obstruction syndromes are a rare, often neglected cause of secondary arterial hypertension. We present the atypical case of a 55-year-old woman with late-diagnosed aortic obstruction causing hypertension and severe cardiorenal dysfunction. Surgical correction successfully controlled blood pressure and reversed organic dysfunction. This case underscores the importance of considering aortic obstruction syndromes in the differential diagnosis in adults with severe hypertension and highlights the significance of meticulous physical examination for accurate diagnosis, avoiding unnecessary complex interventions and contributing to long-term patient well-being.
