A successful management of concomitant renovascular hypertension and symptomatic subclavian steal syndrome due to Takayasu's arteritis using balloon angioplasty and axillo-axillary bypass grafting.
We present a case of Takayasu's arteritis with severe renovascular hypertension and symptomatic subclavian steal syndrome. A 60-year-old woman underwent successful percutaneous balloon renal angioplasty and axillo-axillary bypass grafting. The role of hybrid therapy, angioplasty and extra-anatomical bypass grafting for revascularization of symptomatic ischemia in this disease is reviewed. (Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2003: 9; 334-6)
