An adult male experienced severe chest pain during stenting of a native aortic coarctation. He also developed the postcoarctectomy syndrome with paradoxical hypertension and abdominal pain. Our hypothesis suggests that sudden interruption of large collateral blood flow caused acute chest wall muscle ischemia, rhabdomyolysis, and severe chest pain.
