    Abstract:
    Takayasu's disease is a chronic inflammatory pathology of the aorta and its main branches. The present report describes a rare presentation of the disease in a young woman who presented with anterior myocardial infarction, and was subsequently found to have mixed aneurysmal and obstructive coronary artery disease involving the left anterior descending artery and its diagonal branches. Issues surrounding the management of coronary artery disease in this patient are discussed.
