Abstract:
Obstructive lesions of the visceral arteries in Takayasu's disease are common but rarely symptomatic. This report concerns two patients with Takayasu's disease who died of mesenteric infarction due to superior mesenteric artery thrombosis. Prophylactic revascularization of the visceral arteries in Takayasu's disease remains controversial, and lesions can be more severe than classically recognized.

01:26Transient Ischemic Attack l: Introduction
A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a brief episode of neurological dysfunction caused by a temporary, focal reduction in cerebral blood flow. Although symptoms resemble those of an ischemic stroke, the interruption in perfusion is short-lived and does not cause permanent infarction. TIAs are clinically important because they often serve as early warning events for future stroke.Mechanisms of Transient Cerebral IschemiaTransient cerebral ischemia may arise through several mechanisms. One...
