Abstract
- Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic large-vessel vasculitis affecting young women more frequently than young men. The patients frequently have signs and symptoms of peripheral vascular insufficiency caused by arterial luminal obliteration or narrowing. Coronary artery involvement occurs in only 9~27% of patients. Most of the coronary artery lesions are predominantly involved unilaterally. We describe a presentation of Takayasu's arteritis in a young woman with involvement of the bilateral ostial coronary arteries.
