Abstract

Abstract: Takayasu arteritis results in a variety of vascular symptoms, and there are some cases in which progressive vascular lesions require surgical intervention. We present a case with ascending aortic aneurysm, right common carotid artery stenosis, left common carotid artery occlusion and left subclavian artery stenosis caused by Takayasu arteritis that was successfully treated with total arch replacement and ascending aorta to right internal carotid artery bypass. Abstract : Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a disease with inflammation of the aorta and its large vessel branches, leading to various degrees of stenosis, occlusion and dilatation, with a variety of clinical symptoms [1, 2].
