Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Takayasu's arteritis is a rare inflammatory aortoarteritis of unknown etiology and causes stenoocclusive disease of the aorta and its branches as well as aortic regurgitation. A surgical case of Takayasu's arteritis is presented. A 56-year-old female exhibited aortic regurgitation complicated by severe coarctation of the thoracoabdominal aorta due to Takayasu's arteritis. In this case, a 2-staged repair, consisting of an axillofemoral bypass and an aortic valve replacement, was successfully performed.
