| Abstract |
|
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PT A) was done in four children with Takayasu’s arteritis
at Seoul National University Children’s Hospital in 1986. Successful results were obtained in all cases.
But one child with narrowing of the innominate artery, thoracic aorta and occlusion of the left
subclavian artery showed the most dramatic improvement clinically as well as radiologically because
the lesions were focal. PT A is thought to be the valuable alternative or complementary method of the
reconstructive vascular surgery in the treatment of Takayasu’s arteritis. But the further follow-up
observation on these patients is necessary to evaluate the long term results.
