Abstract
|
|
|
Takayasu's arteritis is a non-specific arteritis involving the aorta and its major branches. Because of the complexity in the feature of vessel involvement, it represents various clinical presentations according to the sites of involvement. In
general,
the medical and the surgical treatment of this progressive disease are known to be unsatisfactory but the surgical treatment can provide symptomatic relief and prolong life in selected cases.
Recently we experienced one case of Takayasu's arteritis involving the aortic arch and its major branches. A 45 year-old male patient admitted with the complaints of dizziness, headache, visual disturbance and coldness of upper extremities.
Ascending aortogram revealed total occlusion of innominate artery and near total occlusion of left common carotid artery at the site of origin of both vessels.
Under the clinical diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis, aorto-bicarotid-right subclavian bypass was performed. Postoperative course was uneventful and most of symptoms were relieved except mild residual visual disturbance.
