IZQUIERDO LOAIZA, Jorge Hernán y DIAZ GIRALDO, Jorge Andrés. Takayasu arteritis and giant aneurysm of pulmonary artery, case report. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.1, pp.40-43. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2016.11.002.
Takayasu arteritis is a large vessel vasculitis that affects the aorta and its main branches, leadingto arterial stenosis, and occasionally, thrombosis. There is also aneurysm formation in the general circulation. There is no specific treatment. The therapy of choice is corti-costeroids, followed by other immunosuppressants in cases where adequate control of the inflammatory process is not achieved.
A case is presented of a patient with Takayasu arteritis and the unusual presence of giant aneurysm of pulmonary artery.
