We have studied the angiographic morphology of nonspecific aortoarteritis, or Takayasu's arteritis, in 126 patients who underwent total aortoarteriography by intravenous or intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Steno-obstructive lesions were seen in 124 (98.4%) patients and commonly involved the abdominal aorta (76.1%), the renal (67.5%), and the subclavian (56.3%) arteries. They were usually symptomatic. Aneurysms were seen in 16 (12.7%) patients and predominantly involved the descending thoracic aorta (62.5%). They were clinically silent. Localized saccular aneurysms (75%) were more common than the fusiform variety. Asymptomatic pulmonary artery involvement was seen in 11 patients (n = 74; 14.9%). Right lung involvement (72.8%) was more common, usually as a stenosis or occlusion of a lobar branch in the upper zone. Intravenous DSA was usually adequate for establishing the diagnosis. In this population a distinct pattern of involvement and the young age at diagnosis were remarkable. |
