Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Rheumatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Takayasu's arteritis is a large vessel vasculitis affecting the aorta and its branches.
  • Obstructive lesions in visceral arteries are a known complication but often asymptomatic.

Observation:

  • This report details two fatal cases of Takayasu's disease.
  • Both patients experienced mesenteric infarction secondary to superior mesenteric artery thrombosis.

Findings:

  • Visceral artery lesions in Takayasu's disease can be severe and lead to critical complications.
  • Superior mesenteric artery thrombosis is a rare but lethal manifestation.

Implications:

  • The necessity and timing of prophylactic revascularization for visceral artery lesions in Takayasu's disease warrant further investigation.
