    AbstractWe experienced a case of acute multiple organ ischemia and multiple organ failure due to atypical aortic coarctation (AAC). Since the patient's hemodynamics were too unstable to perform surgical revascularization, we performed urgent endovascular therapy (EVT) with a stent. Eventually, the patient achieved remission from multiple organ failure and a satisfactory clinical outcome. We feel that EVT for AAC is a sufficiently effective treatment option if the purpose of EVT is to save a patient's life in the acute phase. In the present case, spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding (SRB) occurred after EVT of AAC, but this is a rare incident, although noteworthy in the clinical course.
