Management of the occlusion and stenosis of the aortic arch branches in the course of Takayasu's arteritis
摘要Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the aorta and its thoracic and abdominal parts,most commonly involving the aortic arch and the arteries that arise from it.TA is an autoimmune disease,although certain HLA-linked genetic predispositions have been observed.TA affects females 2 to 8 times more frequently than males.The onset age is between 10 to 40 years old.1 TA is extremely uncommon in Poland.Corticosteroids are the choice of treatment for TA,producing evident improvement of systemic and focal symptoms in approximately 50% of patients.Surgery is used in the advanced phase of TA,when symptoms resulting from organ ischemia caused by occlusion or stenosis of the arteries predominate.1
