Endovascular Rescue of a Narrowed Aorto-Aortic Bypass Graft in a Patient with Takayasu’s Arteritis
We report a case of successful endovascular treatment of a pseudoaneurysm and the obstruction of an aorto-aortic bypass graft, which had been performed to treat Takayasu's arteritis fifteen years prior, at the thoracic aorta. Along with the immediate relief of proximal hypertension that had caused severe heart failure, the successful exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm and the patency of the stem g...
متن کاملEight-year follow-up of endovascular repair of a brachiocephalic trunk aneurysm due to Takayasu's arteritis.
Aneurysms of the brachiocephalic trunk are rare but their clinical outcomes are potentially devastating; they include rupture, cerebral or arm ischemia secondary to thromboembolism, and compression of the surrounding structures. Although open repair has proven successful, it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Endovascular treatment, if anatomically feasible, may offer...
متن کاملTwo-stage repair for aortic regurgitation complicated by severe coarctation of the thoracoabdominal aorta due to Takayasu's arteritis.
Takayasu's arteritis is a rare inflammatory aortoarteritis of unknown etiology and causes stenoocclusive disease of the aorta and its branches as well as aortic regurgitation. A surgical case of Takayasu's arteritis is presented. A 56-year-old female exhibited aortic regurgitation complicated by severe coarctation of the thoracoabdominal aorta due to Takayasu's arteritis. In this case, a 2-stag...
متن کاملTakayasu's arteritis of the aortic arch: endovascular treatment and correlation with positron emission tomography.
A case is presented in which three arterial stenoses and one arterial occlusion due to Takayasu's disease were treated by an endovascular approach. The endovascular technique is discussed, and the clinical and angiographic findings after treatment are correlated with cerebral hemodynamic and metabolic parameters as measured by positron emission tomography.
متن کاملA Case of Takayasu's Arteritis with Total Occlusion of the Abdominal Aorta Treated Only with Oral Medication for More Than 40 Years.
Takayasu's arteritis affects most commonly young women, often causing stenotic and occasionally dilated lesions of the medium-to-large-sized arteries with an acute inflammatory signs and symptoms. Here, we report a rare case of Takayasu's arteritis with total occlusion of the abdominal aorta, which was successfully treated with medication alone and asymptomatic over 40 years. Magnetic resonance...
