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.
