| Abstract: | Arterial aneurysm formation occurs in 15 to 20% of patients with Takayasu's disease. The timing of surgical intervention of these aneurysms is controversial. A case of ectasia of the descending thoracic aorta in a patient with Takayasu's disease is presented. The diagnosis and timing of surgical intervention of aneurysms associated with Takayasu's disease are discussed.Presented at the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery Symposium, April, 1991, Kauai, Hawaii. |
