Deskripsi
Takayasu arteritis is a rare cause of cardiovascular morbidity in the Western world. As consequence, vasculitis may be misdiagnosed and treated as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We present a case of late Takayasu arteritis diagnosis, in a female patient with peripheral artery disease and previous coronary artery bypass grafting. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
