Takayasu Arteritis with Bilateral Renal Artery Stenosis and Left Subclavian Artery Stenosis in Pregnancy.
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare, systemic, chronic inflammatory, progressive, idiopathic disease of aorta and its main branches. It causes narrowing, occlusion and aneurysm of arteries. It affects mainly young females in about 80-90% of cases (young female arteritis). TA has adverse effect on pregnancy in the form of abortion, superimposed preeclampsia, IUGR (Intrauterine growth restriction), IUFD (intrauterine fetal death), abruption and CCF (congestive cardiac failure). Careful assessment, treatment of TA complication, regular antenatal followup and multidisciplinary approach involving obstetrician, cardiologist, rheumatologist and anaesthetist improve maternal and fetal outcome. We described here a case of pregnancy with TA with bilateral renal artery stenosis and left subclavian artery stenosis.
