Abstract

We present the case of a 35-year-old patient with a diagnosis of congenital middle aortic syndrome corrected in childhood with aortic bypass interposition of a Dacron conduit. During follow-up, she was diagnosed with arterial hypertension, for which antihypertensive treatment was started and a stent was implanted in the conduit. A control CT of the aorta revealed a rib lesion suggestive of osteochondroma that compressed the duct. Cardiac catheterization confirmed hemodynamic stenosis due to extrinsic compression of the rib lesion at the level of the previously implanted stent. The CT imaging study helped to diagnose a complication at the level of the aorta that was  undetected in other imaging techniques.
