Abstract
A 32-year-old multigravida woman had 3 pregnancies complicated by hypertensive disease, requiring iatrogenic preterm delivery. Middle aortic syndrome was diagnosed when uncontrolled hypertension persisted postpartum, and was treated with aortic stent-graft placement. A pregnancy subsequent to the endovascular repair was uneventful, culminating in repeated cesarean section at term.
