Abstract
Coral reef aorta (CRA) is calcified stenosis localized in pararenal abdominal aorta. We report three endovascular therapy (EVT) cases for CRA. All three patients were admitted to our hospital with intermittent claudication. CT showed calcified stenosis around the inferior mesenteric artery in two cases, and the superior mesenteric artery in one. Luminexx® 14 mm deployments were successfully performed for these patients. EVT for CRA is low invasive and efficient as open surgery. Post-therapeutic follow-up is essential and prompt re-intervention if necessary should be performed to improve the long-term results.
