Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Rheumatology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Takayasu aortitis is a rare, chronic inflammatory condition affecting large blood vessels, primarily the aorta.
  • It is characterized by vessel wall thickening, fibrosis, stenosis, and thrombus formation, often leading to reduced blood flow.
  • Also known as pulseless disease, it typically affects younger individuals but can occur in older age groups.
