ABSTRACT
A rare form of large vessel vasculitis, Takayasu arteritis (TA) typically affects the aorta and its primary branches and rarely involves the coronary arteries. We present a case study of a female patient who had refractory hypertension and coronary artery disease for which she underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis. We wish to underscore the significance of timely identification and intervention as pivotal factors in improving patient outcomes and optimizing the effectiveness of therapeutic strategies in managing TA.
