[Heart valvular and coronary manifestations of Takayasu disease. Apropos of a surgically-treated case].
Cardiac involvement in Takayasu's disease is well documented. This is often the result of severe hypertension. However, severe clinical manifestations of aortic regurgitation and coronary insufficiency are much less common. The authors report a case in which post-infarction angina and severe left ventricular failure led to a double valve replacement and an aorto-right coronary bypass graft procedure. The diagnosis of Takayasu's disease was suspected before surgery and was confirmed by histological examination.
