Özet

Takayasu arteritis is a chronic granulomatous vasculitis with multivessel involvement, causing significant mortality and morbidity in affected individuals. A 32-year-old patient with severe right common carotid stenosis underwent expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft interposition to the carotid artery. A bare Wallstent endoprosthesis (Boston Scientific Medi-Tech, Natick, MA) was implanted for the abdominal aortic stenosis incidentally diagnosed during follow-up 1 year after the carotid operation while the disease was inactive. Close follow-up of the activity of the vasculitic process is warranted owing to the progression of the vascular lesions or formation of de novo lesions in Takayasu disease.
