| Summary: | Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic granulomatous vasculitis of large vessels of unclear etiology, predominantly affecting the aorta and its main branches, with possible involvement of the coronary and pulmonary arteries. The true prevalence of this disease is unknown, but it is extremely low, given the rare diagnosis and the absence of pathognomonic symptoms. In clinical practice, the criteria proposed by the American College of Rheumatology are used for making a diagnosis. A wide range of imaging diagnostic techniques plays a significant role. This article provides a literature review and a case report of Takayasu's arteritis in a patient admitted with an acute coronary syndrome. |
