ABSTRACT
The authors describe a young woman who developed severe toxemia during pregnancy, requiring emergency lower segment cesarian section at 27 weeks of gestation. Postpartum angiography showed a discrete stenotic lesion of the abdominal aorta proximal to the origin of the renal artery. Angioplasty was performed, followed by the insertion of a wall stent at the site of the stenosis. Her hypertension control improved dramatically after the stenting. This is, so far, the first reported case using a wall stent following angioplasty to relieve abdominal aortic stenosis due to Takayasu's arteritis.
