  • Title: Aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation caused by idiopathic giant cell aortitis.
    Author: Soorae AS, McKeown F, Cleland J.
    Journal: Thorax; 1980 Jan; 35(1):60-3. PubMed ID: 7361287.
    Abstract:
    Giant cell aoritis occurred in a 25-year-old woman, with absent pulses in the left arm and severe aortic regurgitation from dilatation of the valvar annulus. The aortic valve was replaced by a Starr-Edwards prosthesis, and the patient was treated with steroids. Five years later, she continues asymptomatic and haemodynamically stable. The left brachial and radial pulses have returned.
