Hello,
Has anyone heard of or had experience with Mid Aortic Syndrome?
An eight-year-old little girl at my daughter's school had what the local docs thought was the flu. Her parents disagreed and transferred her to a larger city hospital where they took her BP. I don't remember the diastolic, but the systolic was 250! She was in renal failure.
Her parents once again transferred her, this time to the Atlanta Children's Center (Egelston) where she is in the ICU under the care of eight specialists. They did an extensive MRI and discovered that their daughter has "Mid Aortic Syndrome," a rare congenital defect where the aorta narrows nears the juncture of the renal arteries.
Helen had Femorary artery bi-pass surgery last night. After five hours of surgery, she's doing well and our community is hopeful. If you'd like to post any helpful advice or tips for her parents, please do and I'll pass them along.
Best,
