“…CT and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography revealed a thickening of aortic walls and a thread-like appearance of bilateral subclavian and common carotid arteries. The findings were consistent with Takayasu arteritis (TA) 1 and the patient was prescribed methylprednisolone, followed by azathioprine. Follow-up MR angiography, 6 years later, showed an important improvement with only a mild luminal narrowing of both common carotid arteries (figures 1 and 2, A and B).…”

“…It commonly involves the aorta and its major branches. 3,4 In Japan, the prevalence is reported as 4/100000, but according to autopsy reports this rate is one third / 3,000. 5 A study conducted by Fatih Sarıtaş from Turkey stated the incidence as 3,4 /1,000,000.…”

“…Affected patients can have stenosis, occlusion, or dilatation of the blood vessels, which can lead to substantial morbidities including stroke, aortic aneurysm, valvular heart disease and organ failure 2. Furthermore, it more likely involves the aorta and its primary branches, and up to 50% of patients can have pulmonary artery involvement 3, 4.…”

BackgroundUp to 50% patients with Takayasu arteritis have pulmonary artery involvement. Hence, the early identification of pulmonary artery involvement to facilitate prompt treatment is required.MethodsThis retrospective study was performed in patients diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis between January 2009 and January 2016. Pulmonary artery involvement was confirmed with computed tomographic pulmonary angiography. Images from transthoracic echocardiography in three windows (suprasternal right pulmonary artery long‐axis view, parasternal aortic short‐axis view, and subxiphoid view) were documented and analyzed.ResultsA total of 27 patients had Takayasu arteritis and pulmonary artery involvement. Characteristic changes identified by echocardiography included luminal medium‐to‐high echogenic signals, stenosis, and occlusion, as well as intimal thickening. Left pulmonary artery involvement was revealed in the parasternal aortic short‐axis view. Right pulmonary artery involvement was best observed in the suprasternal right pulmonary artery long‐axis view, with complementary views from the parasternal aortic short‐axis and subxiphoid angles. Pulmonary trunk involvement was not observed in all three windows.ConclusionsTransthoracic echocardiography could be a useful noninvasive test to detect pulmonary artery involvement in patients with Takayasu arteritis.
