From: Resistant hypertension caused by stenosis of the aorta in elderly women: three case reports
Evidences of abdominal aorta stenosis in case 1. (A) Two-dimensional and color Doppler echocardiographic image revealed the stenosis of the descending abdominal aorta (left) and turbulent flow through narrowed segment on color Doppler (right). (B) Peak velocity and peak pressure gradient were 5.1 m/s and 105 mmHg, respectively, on continuous wave Doppler echocardiographic image. (C) Angiography and (D) three-dimensional reconstructed image of computed tomography angiogram revealed a significant stenosis of the suprarenal abdominal aorta (black and white arrows).
