Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Rheumatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Takayasu arteritis is an idiopathic inflammatory vasculopathy affecting the aorta and its major branches.
  • It primarily impacts young individuals, predominantly females, leading to stenosis, occlusion, or aneurysms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of Takayasu arteritis patients.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of angioplasty as an interventional treatment for affected individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of 14 patients diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis.
  • Classification of patients based on Takayasu arteritis types (I, II, III).
  • Assessment of angioplasty success rates in eligible patients.

Main Results:

  • The study included 14 patients (11 female, 3 male) aged 12-30 years.
  • Distribution of disease types: 7 Type I, 3 Type II, 4 Type III.
  • Successful angioplasty was achieved in 5 out of the treated patients.

Conclusions:

  • Takayasu arteritis affects a predominantly young female population.
  • Angioplasty is a viable therapeutic option for selected Takayasu arteritis patients, demonstrating successful outcomes.
