Abdominal aortic coarctation is a rare, non-atherosclerotic disease. It is a functionally significant at an early age when associated with aortic branch stenosis and renovascular hypertension. The pathogenesis of aortic constrictive lesions remains unknown, but may be related to developmental error or aortic growth arrest and various hypotheses have been reported. When the renal arteries are involved by the coarctation, severe hypertension is common at an early age and in untreated patients, life-threatening complications commonly occur. Patients who reach the age of 40 years generally have the coarctation below the renal arteries but even when the renal arteries are not involved by the coarctation, renovascular disease may still occur due to secondary atherosclerosis. Aortic thrombosis secondary to abdominal aortic coarctation with renovascular disease and lower limb ischemia, occurring in a 63-year old woman, is reported.
