lyCombined Endovascular and Surgical Treatment in Takayasu's Arteritis-Induced Renal Artery Stenosis (TARAS) Complicated with Vein–Graft Aneurysm of the Aorto-Renal By-pass

摘要

Introduction: We report a case of combined endovascular and surgical treatment in a patient with Takayasu’s arteritis-induced bilateral renal artery occlusion. Report: A 38-year-old women suffering from Takayasu’s arteritis-induced renal artery stenosis (TARAS) was referred to our centre. The patient also complained of claudication and of symp- toms related to ostial stenosis of superior mesenteric artery. She was treated with a sequence of open and endovascular procedures and is now on a 3-year uneventful follow-up. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first case of combined endovascular and surgical treatment of TARAS performed simultaneously in one operative procedure that has ever been reported in the literature.
