ABSTRACT
A 30 year-old female patient was admitted for dizziness and palpitation. Pulsation of the both upper extremities and both common carotid arteries were absent. Innominate artery and both common carotid arteries were severely narrowed, and both subclavian arteries were completely obstructed on aortogram. The patient was diagnosed as type I Takayasu's arteritis, and operation was performed to increase blood flow to the brain and both upper extremities. Ascending aorta, both carotid arteries, both subclavian arteries, and both axillary arteries were exposed by four separate incision, and we performed an aorto-bicarotid-biaxillary bypass with Hemashield graft. Previous dizziness and palpation were disappeared after the operation.
