Sample Report: Abdominal Aortogram: Coral Reef Aorta
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This 65-year-old white female presented with a history of debilitating nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramping following the ingestion of food.
FINDINGS: There is a filling defect in the abdominal aorta, with significant narrowing of the lumen seen on anteroposterior view of the abdominal aorta. It appears to be at the level of the renal artery origin. This is also seen on the lateral view. The superior mesenteric artery origin is markedly narrowed, and there is occlusion of the celiac origin.
DIAGNOSIS: Coral reef aorta, with mesenteric insufficiency.
