ABSTRACT
The coral reef aorta (CRA) is a rare phenomenon of extreme calcification in the juxtarenal and suprarenal aorta. Open revascularization has an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 13%. We present a patient with a suprarenal CRA with colon ischemia. She has an extensive past medical history of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting of the celiac trunk (CT) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The computed tomography angiography showed a CRA of the suprarenal aorta with occlusion of the CT stent and near occlusion of the SMA stent. Our case illustrates that the CRA in the suprarenal part of the aorta can be treated well by chimney graft procedure, although owing to lack of long-term follow-up, it might be reserved for high-risk candidates for (thoraco)abdominal aortic surgery.
