  • Title: Complete remission of coronary vasculitis in Churg-Strauss Syndrome by prednisone and cyclophosphamide.
    Author: Riksen NP, Gehlmann H, Brouwer AE, van Deuren M.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 2013 Mar; 32 Suppl 1(Suppl 1):S41-2. PubMed ID: 20349259.
    Abstract:
    The heart is involved in up to 50% of all patients with Churg-Strauss syndrome, but vasculitis of the coronary arteries has only been rarely documented. We present a young patient with severe coronary aneurysms and stenotic lesions due to a Churg-Strauss vasculitis. Prompt therapy with prednisone and cyclophosphamide resulted in the complete resolution of all lesions.
