Axillofemoral Bypass to Treat Severe Heart Failure Caused by Takayasu's Arteritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Takayasu's arteritis is an inflammatory vasculitis that primarily affects the aorta and its major branches. Involvement of the thoracic and abdominal aortas, although rare, causes marked hypertension and may lead to severe heart failure. We report the improvement of cardiac function after axillofemoral bypass grafting in a 59-year-old woman who had this condition.

متن کاملEndovascular 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 کاملSevere respiratory failure caused by recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage in Takayasu's arteritis.
We encountered a 52-year-old man with Takayasu's disease (pulseless disease) and severe respiratory failure due to recurrent pulmonary hemorrhage. Angiography revealed occlusion of multiple branches of the pulmonary artery, which were filled via collateral circulation from the coronary, intercostal, and intermammary arteries. This is a rare case that causes massive pulmonary bleeding and respir...

An autopsy case of an elderly man with Takayasu's arteritis and atherosclerosis is presented. Ischemic signs and symptoms including anginal attack were aggravated with activity of arteritis despite administration of prednisolone throughout the entire course. The autopsy revealed severe atherosclerosis over the aorta and its branches, and arteritis in the fibrotic stage in localized area. Vessel...
متن کاملCoronary artery bypass grafting in Takayasu’s disease – importance of the proximal anastomosis: a case report
INTRODUCTION Treatment of coronary artery involvement in Takayasu's arteritis is challenging. Coronary artery bypass grafting may be required. The use of saphenous vein grafts is recommended because of possible inflammatory involvement of the internal thoracic arteries. However, inserting the proximal anastomosis on inflamed aortic tissue may give rise to stenosis. Only a few cases of inserting...
