Özet
Takayasu arteritis, also known as the aortitis syndrome, is a panarteritis that affects the arcus aorta and its major branches, seen usually in young women. As Takayasu arteritis has a progressive nature, surgery is usually indicated only in complications of the arteritis. In this report we present two surgically treated cases with severe complications of Takayasu arteritis. We also review the syndrome.
