Renovascular Hypertension due to Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome Treated by Open Bypass after Failed Endovascular Treatment.

Abstract

Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition in which the median arcuate ligament compresses the celiac artery (CA) and celiac ganglia, causing abdominal pain [1]. The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is occasionally compressed because of anatomical variations [2,3]. We recently experienced a rare case of MALS that compressed the CA, SMA, and right renal artery (RA), resulting in renovascular hypertension. A 20-year-old male presented with uncontrolled hypertension. Four years earlier, he presented with high blood Im ge of Vacular Srgery Renovascular Hypertension due to Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome Treated by Open Bypass after Failed Endovascular Treatment
