Summary

Takayasu Arteritis (TA) affects medium and large caliber arteries causing stenosis, occlusion or aneurysms. It has great predilection for the aortic arch, subclavian and extracranial arteries. The global prevalence is of 1 to 2% per million inhabitants, which varies by geographical region. The main cause of death in TA is of cardiovascular origin and includes ischemic cardiomyopathy and valvular disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical experience according to the type of surgery in subjects with TA with and without inflammatory activity.

Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive, cross-sectional study run between 1977 and 2017. Patients with Takayasu arteritis with more than 3 classification criteria according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) were included. The surgeries were classified as: Organ preservation, cardiac, bypass, exclusion and replacement. Inflammatory activity was evaluated.
