A Case of Takayasu's Arteritis Associated with Aortic Regurgitation and Coronary Artery Involvement

Abstract

Takayasu's arteritis is an arteritis of undetermined etiology, which affects the aorta and the proximal portions of its major branches. But aortic regurgitation and coronary artery involvement were unusual manifestations in this disease. We experienced a patient of Takayasu's arteritis who represented these unusual manifestations. Aortogram revealed grade IV aortic regurgitation and proximal segment narrowing of left main coronary artery. A case of Takayasu's arteritis associated with aortic regurgitation and left main coronary artery involvement is reported with a review of literatures.
