Abstract
We report 2 patients who were referred for treatment of hemodynamically significant symptomatic stenosis of the aorta at the thoracoabdominal transition (coral reef aorta) that was causing abdominal angina and intermittent claudication. Both patients underwent successful transfemoral endovascular stent-graft placement and are free of symptoms, with regular findings at 6-month follow-up completion computed tomography scan.
