Surgical bypass grafting successfully treated neurological symptoms in two patients with Takayasu's aortoarteritis. Both patients remained symptom-free during follow-up, demonstrating the efficacy of this intervention for complex vascular disease.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Takayasu's aortoarteritis is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the aorta and its branches.
  • Neurological complications can arise from arterial stenosis or occlusion in Takayasu's aortoarteritis.
  • Surgical intervention is considered for patients with disabling symptoms due to hemodynamically significant arterial lesions.

Observation:

  • Two female patients, aged 32 and 41, presented with neurological deficits secondary to Takayasu's aortoarteritis.
  • Both patients underwent bypass surgery from the ascending aorta to the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries via a transsternal approach.
  • One patient developed a sternal wound infection and graft involvement due to corticosteroid therapy for active disease.

Findings:

  • Postoperative follow-up of 3.5 and 2 years showed complete resolution of neurological symptoms in both patients.
  • Despite a sternal wound infection and graft involvement in one patient, conservative management was pursued due to high reoperation risks.
  • The study highlights the effectiveness of surgical revascularization in managing neurological complications of Takayasu's aortoarteritis.

Implications:

  • Surgical bypass grafting can provide durable relief from neurological symptoms in Takayasu's aortoarteritis.
  • Management of Takayasu's aortoarteritis requires a multidisciplinary approach, balancing surgical risks with medical therapies.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention are crucial for improving long-term outcomes in patients with this rare vasculitis.
