Abstract

When fibrosis develops in Takayasu arteritis (TA), endovascular treatment may become necessary. A 63-year-old woman with TA underwent PTA with a nitinol-structured (chocolate-like) drug-coated balloon (C-DEB PTA). She remained in remission for >1 year. The case may foster research into the use of C-DEB PTA in TA.
