We report a case of recurred Takayasu,s arteritis.The patient was 28-year-old female underwent aorto-left common carotid and aorto-left subclavian bypass graft replacement 1 year ago.Unfortunately, she was readmitted because of newly developing angina and both eye claudication severe headache. Aorto-coronary angiogram showed complete obstruction of left common carotid artery ,stenosis of right carotid artery bifurcation and ostial stenosis of right coronary artery.Bilateral carotid arteries bypass graft with great saphenous vein and right coronary artery bypass graft with right internal mammary artery were done at same the time and she discharged after 21 days without any problem.

Takayasu`s arteritis is a nonspecific inflammatory vascular disease of unknown origin. It most often cuases stenosis of the aorta or its branch arteries with ischemic changes in the organs supplied, but the vessels inside these organs are not directly involved. From 1983 to 1991, we performed operation on 6 patients with Takayasu`s arteritis. There were 6 female patients ranging in age from 17 years to 36 years. Symptoms included headache, dizzness, visual disturbance, and motor weakness or pain of arm. In 5 cases, bypass graft arised from ascening aorta[ventral aorta] were done, and in one, stenotic segments of left subclavian and vertebral arteries were resected an graft interposition done. Follow-up has been 62.4$\pm$34.8 months[ranging from 11 to 113 months], results of each patient were exellent, except one postoperative death.

Takayasu's arteritis is an inflammatory vasculitis that primarily affects the aorta and its major branches. Involvement of the thoracic and abdominal aortas, although rare, causes marked hypertension and may lead to severe heart failure. We report the improvement of cardiac function after axillofemoral bypass grafting in a 59-year-old woman who had this condition.

Recently we experienced a case of Takayasu`s arteritis involving the major aortic branches. A 30 year-old female patient admitted with the complaints of dizziness, visual disturbance, headache and tingling sensation of upper extremities. Aortogram revealed nearly complete obstruction of the origin site of both common carotid arteries and right vertebral artery, and irregular luminal narrowing of the origin site of innominate artery and left subclavian artery, but opacification of right subclavian artery and left vertebral artery. Successful surgical treatment was accomplished with a bypass from the ascending aorta to the left common carotid artery using a tube graft. The left subclavian artery and right axillary artery were revascularized distal to the stenosis with tube grafts that extended from the aortic graft. Postoperative complications were atelectasis, lymph leakage and left phrenic nerve palsy. She discharged uneventually at postoperative 22 days and most of symptoms were relieved.

Of 18 patients with Takayasu's arteritis who underwent $^{99m}Tc-MAA$ (macroaggregated albumin) perfusion luing scanning, 9 (50%) showed perfusion defects. Chest X-rays of them were nonspecific. One patient underwent $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ radio aerosol inhalation lung scanning simultaneously, which revealed normal. So routine screening radioisotope perfusion lung scanning is helpful to evaluate pulmonary arterial involnmement in Takayasu's arteritis patients. And Takayasu's arteritis should be included in differential diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that affects mainly the aorta, main aortic branches, and pulmonary arteries. Diverse neurological manifestations of TA have rarely been reported in children. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neuroradiological condition that presents with headache, seizure, visual disturbances, and characteristic lesions on imaging. Inflammatory condition and severe hypertension in TA can cause PRES. We report of a 5-year-old girl with presumed TA who presented with PRES and chronic total occlusion in the renal artery. The findings on magnetic resonance imaging suggested PRES. Left nephrectomy was performed for total occlusion of the left renal artery, and the confirmatory diagnosis of TA was based on the pathologic findings of the renal artery.

Takayasu씨 동맥염은 원인이 잘 모르는 만성 염증성 질환의 일종이다. 이 질병은 주로 대동맥궁과 대동맥의 주분지를 잘 침범하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 관상동맥과 신동맥을 동시에 침범하는 경우는 극히 드물다. 최근 고려대학교 흉부외과학교실에서는 관상동맥과 신동맥을 동시 에 침범한 Takayasu씨 동맥 염 환자를 성공적으로 치료하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 23세 여자로, 운동시의 흉통을 주소로 내원하였다. 혈관조영술상 좌주관상동맥, 양측의 신동맥, 좌쇄골하동맥의 협착 소견을 보였다. 치료로는 양측의 신동맥에 스텐트를 삽입하는 혈관성형술을 시행하였고, 1주일 뒤 대복재정맥을 이용한 관상동맥우회술과 인조혈관(PIFE)을 이용한 대동맥-쇄골하동맥간 우회술을 동시에 시행하였다. 환자는 수술 후 13일째 특별한 합병증 없이 퇴원하였다.

We experienced 20 patients with Takayasu`s disease who required 22 surgical procedures for critical arterial stenoses, aneurym of descending thoracic aorta, and aortic regurgitation from 1986 to 1993.Five patients had type I arteritis, seven patients had type II , seven patients had type III, and one patients had type IV.15 patients were female and 5 patients were male.Patients` ages ranged from 17 to 47 years and mean age was 29.1 years. The surgical procedures were as follows;autotransplantations of kidney[3], aortic valve replacements[2], ascending aorta-bilateral internal carotid artery bypasses[2], unilateral renal artery bypasses[2], bilateral renal artery bypasses[3], replacement of descending thoracic aorta[1], ascending aorta-abdominal aorta bypass[1], ascending aorta-right internal carotid artery bypass[1], ascending aorta-right internal carotid artery and left subclavian artery bypass[1], left common carotid artery-left-subclavian artery bypass[1], pulmonary artery angioplasty[1], left femoro-bilateral axillary bypass[1] and others[2]. There was no hospital death.Mean duration of follow-up was 42.7 months[ranged from 3 to 96 months].There was one late death and late mortality rate is 5.9%.Two patients was underwent second vascular procedures, one after 5 years and the other after 5 months.The other patients have done well after surgery.

저자들은 타카야수동맥염에 전형적인 맥박 감소, 사지 혈압의 차이, 사지 파행 등의 증상 없이 기침, 흉통, 객혈과 체중 감소의 호흡기 증상과 전신증상을 주소로 내원한 17세 남자 환자에서 진찰소견과 폐혈관조영술을 통해 폐동맥염을 확인하고, 대동맥조영술을 통해 쇄골하동맥과 온목동맥의 협착을 관찰하여 타카야수동맥염으로 진단한 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
