- Abstract
Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare pathology that involves diffuse/ segmental narrowing of the distal thoracic or abdominal aorta. The most common clinical manifestation is severe hypertension, which requires multiple antihypertensive medications and/or surgical repair. We report the surgical repair of MAS in a 14-year-old male.
