Coronary ostial angioplasty for juvenile Takayasu arteritis involving the coronary artery using external iliac artery grafts.

ABSTRACT: Takayasu arteritis can affect the coronary ostia, leading to myocardial ischemia. Coronary ostial angioplasty effectively treats coronary artery ostial lesions associated with Takayasu arteritis. We present a case of juvenile Takayasu arteritis with bilateral subclavian artery occlusions treated with a novel coronary artery ostial angioplasty using the external iliac artery.
