PAO is a rare entity with high morbidity and mortality rates if not recognized and treated promptly. Acute onset of lower limb impotence is the most common clinical presentation of PAO. Aortic CT angiography is the first-choice imaging technique for the early diagnosis of this disease and for the surgical treatment, planning and assessment of any complications. Combined with surgical treatment, anticoagulation is considered the first-line medical therapy at the time of diagnosis, during surgical treatment and after at discharge.
