title: Perinuclear-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies are associated with vasculitis.
abstract: We describe a 62-year-old man with perinuclear-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated vasculitis, which involved the heart, lung, and kidneys. The patient's care was complicated by total occlusions of the brachiocephalic and right renal arteries and a stenosis of the left renal artery. Involvement of large-sized vessels has not been reported in patients with perinuclear-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies-associated vasculitis.
