Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report a case of Takayasu's arteritis with predominant pulmonary involvement, which led eventually to complete obliteration of the right pulmonary artery. Subsequently, cavitation and chronic inflammation developed in the nonperfused right lung. A right pneumonectomy was performed to control the infectious process, leading to functional improvement and better control of the underlying immunologic disorder. |
