Coronary artery and supra-aortic vessel revascularization without aortic clamping for Takayasu arteritis

Abstract

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare idiopathic large-vessel vasculitis involving the aorta and its major branches. Coronary artery disease and its surgical management in patients with TA is also a rare clinical entity. We report the case of a 73-year-old woman with TA and 3-vessel coronary artery disease in whom we performed off-pump coronary artery bypass graft concomitant with supra-aortic vessel revascularization.
