    Author: de RS, Serratrice J, Granel B, Disdier P, Bartoli JM, Pache X, Astoul P, Garbe L, Branchereau A, Weiller PJ.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 2002 Feb; 29(2):392-4. PubMed ID: 11838862.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 47-year-old man who successively presented atheromatous coronary artery disease, cholesterol embolism after angioplasty, periaortitis with presence of c-ANCA, and finally typical pulmonary lesions caused by Wegener's granulomatosis. This case illustrates the link between atheromatous and inflammatory process and emphasizes that periaortitis may be a feature of Wegener's granulomatosis.
