Spontaneous resolution of the arterial obstruction in Takayasu's arteritis is rarely reported. We reported a case of spontaneous resolution of an obstruction of the left subclavian artery in a young female. The patient underwent a bilateral coronary patch ostioplasty for both coronary ostial lesions complicated by Takayasu's arteritis at the age of 28. Concomitant left subclavian obstruction was seen at that time but left untreated. Surprisingly, the 10-year follow-up angiogram revealed complete resolution of the left subclavian artery obstruction. Meanwhile, no specific medical treatment was administered.

Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management

Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...

Aneurysm II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Thoracic, aortic arch and abdominal aneurysms are significant vascular conditions that can present with various clinical manifestations and lead to serious complications. Understanding these manifestations and the appropriate diagnostic studies is essential for effective management and treatment.Thoracic Aortic AneurysmsThoracic aortic aneurysms often remain asymptomatic until they reach a size that impinges on adjacent structures. They typically cause deep, diffuse chest pain that radiates to...
