Background: Severe forms of the midaortic syndrome cause persistent arterial hypertension and can lead to angina abdominalis. Untreated, morbidity, and mortality are significant. In addition to palliation through bypass surgery, few other therapeutic approaches lead to a long-term relief. Drug-eluting balloons (DEB) covered with paclitaxel, a cytostatic drug, have proven to be effective in bifurcational lesions and for in-stent stenoses in coronary arteries.
Case Summary: In a 15-year-old girl with severe midaortic syndrome and multiple collateral arteries, four interventional balloon dilatations with DEB of increasing diameters resolved the stenosis within 8 months. After a procedure free interval of now 2.7 years, the anatomical and the physical condition of the patient remained unchanged.
Discussion: This stepwise approach, with a low procedural risk and a lasting result may justify further investigations into this combined treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Mid-aortic syndrome is a rare condition that leads to narrowing (stenosis) of the aorta, which can affect even newborns.
- A case study is presented involving a 2-month-old girl who had underdevelopment of the lower abdominal aorta and dilated cardiomyopathy.
- Over time, the baby’s aortic narrowing improved naturally while she received targeted treatment for heart failure, allowing her to grow and recover.

Department of Pediatrics and Nephrology, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-091 Warsaw, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Renal artery stenosis (RAS) and mid-aortic syndrome (MAS) are important but often overlooked causes of high blood pressure in children, with RAS involving the narrowing of renal arteries and MAS affecting the abdominal aorta and associated vessels.
- These conditions can arise from genetic issues and other factors like fibromuscular dysplasia and Takayasu arteritis, making their symptoms complicated and hard to diagnose despite improved imaging techniques.
- Treatment varies from medications that only partially control blood pressure to more invasive options like angioplasty and surgery, and the article emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach and early detection to improve treatment outcomes for affected children.
