Takayasu s arteritis is a rare, idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease, involving mainly the aorta and its major branches and pulmonary arteries. It leads to stenosis, occlusion or aneurysmal degeneration of large arteries. The clinical presentation depends on the extent and localization of the artery involved. The disease has two phases, the first is acute with nonspecif-ic symptoms, the second phase is chronic in which symptoms are related to stenotic lesions or vessel occlusion.
