Takayasu Arteritis is a chronic vasculitis, mainly involving the aorta and its main branches, as well as the coronary and pulmonary Arteritis to cause stenosis, and/or obstruction due to thrombusformation or aneurysmalformation and/or rupture of the involved arteries (1, 2) (Fig. 1). The first description of this morbid condition was reported in 1830 by Yamamoto in Japan (3). However, the first...

The minimum duration of pulselessness required before organ donation after circulatory determination death has not been well studied.

Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis that often results in pulselessness due to fibrotic stenoses. Whereas minor calcification is sometimes seen with Takayasu arteritis, it rarely causes stenosis. Extensive calcification resulting in malperfusion is exceedingly rare and has been attributed to disorders in calcium trafficking in a chronic inflammatory state. We report an unusual case ...

We describe a 71-year-old woman with spontaneous rupture of the left pulmonary artery. She was admitted with pulselessness of her left arm and lack of sensibility in her left arm and leg. Echocardiography and thoracic CT did not confirm aortic dissection. CT only showed hematoma around the descending aorta. She underwent left-sided thoracotomy. Intraoperatively, a rupture of the left pulmonary ...
