다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Takayasu arteritis is a chronic non-specific inflammatory arteriopathy that involves primarily the first branches of aortic arch but may also affect the aorta and any of its primary branches. A characteristic trait of the disease is that most of the patients are young females of mainly Asian and South American origin. Recently, we experienced a rare case of Takayasu arteritis which showed a cord-like atresia of abdominal aorta just below renal arteries in 52-year-old woman. We performed a side to side bypass graft from descending thoracic aorta to abdominal aorta just above the aortic bifurcation with a 18mm PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) vascular graft. The postoperative course was uneventful. .
