    Abstract:
    Takayasu arteritis is a rare, inflammatory disease affecting mainly young women and is more prevalent in Asia and Latin America. Its etiology is obscure. It involves the aorta and its main branches. The typical lesions are represented by obliteration and aneurysmatic dilatation of arteries and ostial stenosis. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with Takayasu arteritis and coronary disease, complaining of angina pectoris CCS class IV. The patient underwent successful angioplasty of LAD. During 6-month follow-up she remained asymptomatic. Various therapeutic options of revascularization are reviewed.
