A Case of Takayasu's Arteritis Presented by Stenosis of Main Pulmonary Artery and Obstruction of the Right Coronary Artery / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Takayasu's arteritis is generally recognized as a chronic, idiopathic, inflammatory disease, which affects the aorta and the proximal portions of its major branches. We experienced a patient with Takayasu's arteritis who was presented with main pulmonary artery stenosis and right coronary ostial occlusion without involvement of aorta nor its major branches. She was managed with pulmonary arterioplasty and coronary artery bypass graft. This case emphasize that the disease cannot affect the aorta.
