“…A number of guidelines, based on experience and other published reports, can be suggested for lesions of the aortic arch and its major branches. 36,[39][40][41][42] Carotid stenosis and occlusions are frequently asymptomatic. Therefore surgery should be reserved for patients with cerebrovascular symptoms.…”

Background: Takayasu's arteritis is a condition of unknown aetiology with an unpredictable natural history. Most of the literature available has originated from Asia, with a few contributions from Africa where the pattern of the disease may be different. This is a single institution's experience review. Methods: Data were obtained retrospectively from the angiographic and medical records of patients treated at Groote Schuur Hospital over the period 1952-2002. The criteria for inclusion were those proposed by the Aortitis Syndrome Research Committee of Japan and the American College of Rheumatology. Results: Two hundred and seventy-two patients were identified. The mean age at presentation was 25 years (range 14-66 years) and 75% were female. Only 8% were Caucasian. Hypertension was the most common presentation (77%) and was usually a consequence of renal artery stenosis or aortic coarctation. Cardiac failure was the most common problem. Cerebrovascular symptoms were recorded in 20%. Convincing evidence of tuberculosis was present in 20%. The entire aorta was involved in 70% of cases. Thirty per cent had aortic bifurcation involvement. Occlusions were noted in 93% and aneurysms in 46%. Vascular reconstruction was performed on 115 occasions in 99 patients, with an operative mortality of 4%. Cardiac failure was the usual cause of death. One hundred and six patients (39%) were followed for a minimum of 5 years. No further progression of disease was noted in 70 patients. Conclusion: The natural history and prognosis of Takayasu's arteritis still remain poorly defined.

“…Historically, this has been with surgery, but advances in medical technology and equipment have introduced balloon angioplasty and stenting to the armamentarium. [11][12][13][14] Although the use of multiple stents has been reported in these individuals, 1,2 they carry their own specific risks.…”
