  • Title: A novel approach to the treatment of recurrent non-atherosclerotic carotid stenosis in a patient with Takayasu arteritis.
    Author: Tann SM, Pershad A.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2012 Aug 01; 80(2):337-41. PubMed ID: 22121053.
    Abstract:
    Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of medium- and large-sized arteries which frequently affects the major supra-aortic vessels. Morbidity and mortality with both medical and surgical treatments for this disease are high. In the past decade, angioplasty and stenting has emerged as a reasonable alternative to treatment of stenoses in these patients. Restenosis rates of percutaneously treated Takayasu lesions have been higher than with non-inflammatory lesions. Novel approaches are being sought to treat restenoses in these patients, such as the use of a stent grafts. Such a case is described in this report.
