Abstract

Takayasu arteritis is a chronic, rare arteritis that causes arterial stenosis / occlusion and dilation, affects the aorta and its branches. The most commonly affected branches are the subclavian artery and the common carotid artery. It is mainly diagnosed in women under 40 years of age. It is most commonly observed in Japan, Southeast Asia, India and Mexico.  We represent a clinical case of a patient with Takayasu arteritis, with diagnosed significant stenosis of the common carotid arteries and subclavian artery. Doppler sonography was used for screening. Endovascular treatment of lesions with different localization has been applied in stages. They have been successfully and effectively treated by implanting different types of stent on the Takayasu-affected artery lesions. No intra-procedural major events were observed, as well as death or severe complications during the follow-up.
