ABSTRACT

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is an inflammatory and stenotic disease of medium and large sized arteries characterized by a strong predilection for the aortic arch and its branches. We present a case of 48-year-old woman with Takayasu's arteritis experienced thrombotic occlusion of an extra-anatomical aortic bypass graft done 12 years earlier. She presented with uncontrolled hypertension in upper limbs and bilateral claudication pain in lower limbs and abdominal pain for which CT aortogram was done suggestive of thrombosis of graft for which aortoplasty was done and patient was discharged on anticoagulants and corticosteroids.

Keywords: Takayasus arteritis, axillo-iliac graft, aortogram, erythrocyte sedimentation rate
