    Abstract:
    An autopsy case of an elderly man with Takayasu's arteritis and atherosclerosis is presented. Ischemic signs and symptoms including anginal attack were aggravated with activity of arteritis despite administration of prednisolone throughout the entire course. The autopsy revealed severe atherosclerosis over the aorta and its branches, and arteritis in the fibrotic stage in localized area. Vessels of vital organs including heart and kidneys, did not show Takayasu's arteritis but were atherosclerotic. This case highlights the numerous problems encountered in the treatment of elderly patients with vasculitis such as Takayasu's arteritis.
