Aortoarteritis involving supra-aortic trunks: a profile of six cases.
Six patients (2 male, 4 female; age range 24 to 36 years) with aortoarteritis involving the supra-aortic trunks were investigated and surgically managed by bypass graft with either preclotted dacron or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in an urban institute. There has been no mortality and post-operative functional recovery has been satisfactory in all the cases.
