Fig Images are shown for endovascular treatment and surgical bypass for patients with Takayasu arteritis affecting supra-aortic arteries. Top (left), Aortic arch angiogram in a 36-year-old woman shows a short-segment stenosis (arrow) of the right subclavian artery and multiple, diffuse stenotic or occlusive lesions in the carotid, vertebral, and axillary arteries. Top (right), After balloon angioplasty of the right subclavian artery stenosis. Bottom (left), Preoperative computed tomography angiogram in a 45-year-old woman shows multiple occlusive cervical arteries and aneurysmal lesions at the right subclavian arteries. Bottom (right), After ascending aorta-to-bilateral carotid and right axillary bypasses with prosthetic grafts.
