Endovascular treatment and long-term safety for pulmonary artery stenosis due to Takayasu’s arteritis – A case re port
Takayasu’s arteritis is a rare large vessel vasculitis which can involve the pulmonary arteries and progress to pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis with pulmonary hypertension. We present a case of Takayasu arteritis complicated by bilateral pulmonary stenosis and pulmonary hypertension that resolved after PA stenting and angioplasty. This case demonstrates the efficacy of endovascular intervention and sustained safety during 10 years of follow-up.
