Steroid-resistant immunoglobulin G4–related coronary arteritis: a case report
Steroid therapy is the first-line treatment for IgG4-related diseases; however, there may be some refractory cases. The stenotic and aneurysmal types of IgG4-related coronary arteritis are life-threatening; therefore, we performed revascularization using balloon angioplasty. Determining the optimal revascularization technique for drug-refractory cases requires further investigation.
