Internal common carotid artery stenosis in concomitant with subclavian
artery occlusion in a young lady with Takayasu syndrome
Abstract
Takayasu arteritis is a chronic vasculitis that affects large vessels
and causes focal or diffuse thickening of the vessel walls with
consequent stenosis, occlusion, or thrombosis. Here, we describe a young
lady with Takayasu, which had Internal common carotid artery stenosis
and subclavian artery occlusion with focusing on the value of
transthoracic echocardiography (2D) in the diagnosis of these
complications of Takayasu.
