Delayed manifestation of aortic stenosis caused by abdominal blunt trauma is rare. We report herein the case of a 67-year-old man who was taken to a nearby hospital after being crushed between a heavy truck and a wall. An emergency laparotomy was performed, revealing only a mesenteric tear which was repaired. He was discharged after an uneventful postoperative course; however, 1 month later he began to experience intermittent claudication, and presented to our hospital in December 1994, 1 year after the first operation. Angiography and enhanced computed tomography (CT) demonstrated infrarenal abdominal aortic dilatation with distal stenosis. Both the dilated and stenotic lesions were resected and bypass surgery ws performed. Pathologic examination demonstrated that the intima had been lacerated circumferentially and everted distally, causing the aortic stenosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of the delayed manifestation of traumatic aortic stenosis to be documented in Japan. The etiology of this rare complication of blunt trauma is described in this report.
