Abstract:
A case report and a brief review of the literature on Takayasu's arteritis complicating annuloaortic ectasia are presented. The patient successfully underwent modified Bentall procedure during the inactive stage of the disease. Piehler's method is recommended for coronary reconstruction in the presence of severe periaortic adhesions resulting from Takayasu's arteritis.
