Abstract
Takayasu arteritis is an uncommon chronic inflammatory arteritis affecting large vessels, predominantly the aorta and its main branches. This disease, primarily known to be frequent in Asia and Latin America region, occurs mainly in young people between the ages of 15 and 25 years, with a male to female ratio of 1:9. Here, we report a young Asian female patient with Takayasu arteritis affecting multiple arteries and treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. .
