Abstract
|
|
|
Takayasu's arteritis is one of chronic inflammatory disease characteristically involving the aorta and it's major branches. We experienced two surgical cases of Takayasu's ateritis associated with the stenosis of the descending thoracic aorta.
One
case
was 15 year-old girl and be she was admitted because of dyspnea on exertion for 12 months. Aortogram showed the stenosis of the descending thoracic aorta from just below left subclavian artery to the 9th thoracic vetebra. The other case was 10
yearold
girl and she was admitted because of URI and hypertension. Aortogram showed narrowing of right innominate artery, but developed collaterl circulation, and the stenosis of the descending thoracic aorta near the 9th thoracic vertebra. In each case,
bypass
graft from the ascending aorta to the abdominal aorta just above the inferior mensenteric artery was performed with satisfactory result. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:394-8)
