Challenges of treatment of aortic obstruction in Takayasu disease
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 July 2014
Abstract
Diffuse aortitis, as seen in Takayasu disease, is characterised by extreme wall fragility, associated with a high risk of complications such as dissection and aneurysm formation, following endovascular treatment. We report a patient with Takayasu disease who presented with a very difficult clinical course associated with several unfavourable outcomes of stent insertion.
