ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of angiographic diagnosis and interventional therapy for Takayasu arteritis. Methods Thirty-eight patients with Takayasu Arteritis (TA)(11 men, 27 woman; aged 8-54; average age, 30.5?18) undergone angiography were analyzed retrospectively. The angiographic appearances in all of the patients were observed dynamically in a double blind method by two experienced radiologists together and formed a consensus interpretation. Results According to the classification of Lupi-Herrea, typeⅠwas found in 11 cases, typeⅡin 15, typeⅢin 7 and typeⅣin 5 by angiography. Among 38 patients the arterial involvement ineluded subclavian artery in 20 cases (52.6%), the abdominal aorta in 15 cases (39.5%), the renal artery in 14 cases (36.8%), thoracic aorta in 10 cases (26.3%), carotid artery in 9 cases (23.7%), iliac artery in 9 cases (23.7%), axillary artery in 7 cases (18.4%), superior mesenteric artery in 4 cases (10.5%), coronary artery in 3 cases (7.9%), pulmonary artery in 3 cases (7.9%), and so on. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed in 22 cases and the stent placement was managed in 12 cases successfully. Conclusions Angiography is one of the ideal and reliable methods for the diagnosis and guidance of the interventional treatment for TA, and the latter is a mini-invasive and effective way for TA.
