Takayasu's arteriopathy with associated occlusion of right coronary artery, brachiocephalic trunk and left subclavian artery and aortic regurgitation. Cardiovascular approach leading to a successful outcome - a case presentation.
In a 37 year-old woman with Takayasu's arteriopathy angiography revealed occlusion of right coronary artery (RCA), brachiocephalic trunk and left carotid artery (LCA), as well as aortic regurgitation. She underwent a complex cardiovascular surgery consisting of aortic valve implantation, RCA grafting and implantation of vascular bifurcated graft anastomosed between ascending aorta and brachiocephalic trunk and LCA. The multi-slice computed tomography performed two weeks after the operation revealed preserved grafts patency.
