title: Management of a Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm during Pregnancy Leading to the Diagnosis of Takayasu Arteritis.
abstract: Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory arteritis affecting large vessels, predominantly the aorta and its main branches. We report the case of a patient presenting with the rapid growth of a thoracic aortic aneurysm during pregnancy leading to the diagnosis of Takayasu disease and treated by a rapid delivery by cesarean section followed by an open aortic repair. One year after the operation the patient and her baby are alive and well.
