  • Title: Pulmonary valvular stenosis associated with Takayasu's Disease. Favorable response to corticosteroids. A case report.
    Author: Rangel A, Baduí E, Jara LJ, Chávez E, Solorio S, Enciso R, Verdín R, Marin G.
    Journal: Angiology; 1996 Jul; 47(7):717-24. PubMed ID: 8686969.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the first reported case of type IV Takayasu's arteritis with pulmonary valve stenosis. After thirty months under corticosteroid therapy the disappearance of the pulmonary valve stenosis signs was observed in the patient. In the same patient coarctation of the aorta, aortic insufficiency, stenosis of both pulmonary arteries, and left coronary artery stenosis were observed. This case illustrates the extensive cardiovascular involvement that can occur in Takayasu's arteritis and suggests that pulmonary valvular stenosis could be secondary to the same inflammatory process.
