Abstract

Takayasu’s arteritis is a chronic vasculitis affecting aorta and its branches. We report a case series of Takayasu’s disease. Percutaneous intervention with stent implantation is better choice for stenosis and occlusion of coronary and carotid arteries as well as peripheral lesions, and is increasingly used for the management of Takayasu’s arteritis.

Keywords: Takayasu’s arteritis, percutaneous intervention, granulomatous vasculitis, pulseless disease.
