    Author: Sunamori M, Hatano R, Yamada T, Tsukuura T, Sakamoto T.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 1976; 17(5):443-56. PubMed ID: 9415.
    Abstract:
    Seven cases of aortitis syndrome were surgically treated with good results: Abdominal aortic aneurysm 1, atypical coarctation of aorta 2, aortic valve insufficiency 2, renovascular hypertension 2. Several attentions were paid as following: 1. Operation should be avoided during acute phase of aortitis. 2. Synthetic graft material should be avoided if possible. Autogenous vein is advisable for reconstruction of small-sized artery. 3. Surgical intervention should be performed before the loss of organ function. 4. Hematological consideration is worthwhile to prevent hypercoagulopathy due to aortitis.
