Abstract:Objective:To investigate the method of surgical treatment of mixed type Takayasu′s arteritis(TA).
Methods:Clinical data of 12 cases of TA were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:All 12 patients were treated with operations, including arterial bypass with prosthesis-graft in 5 cases; percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and intraluminal stent implantation in 3 cases; combination of the two methods in 4 cases. All patients were followed up for 3 to 60 months. 10 cases of organ ischemia or renal hypertension were very well controlled, 2 cases showed restenosis of renal artery and one of them died from cerebrovascular accident.
Conclusions:Combination of arterial bypass, PTA and intraluminal stent impantation can control the ischemia of the vital organs and reduce the blood pressure of renal hypertension in patients with TA.
