Long-term Patency and Complications of Endovascular and Surgical Revascularization for Takayasu Arteritis

Purpose: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare form of chronic vasculitis that is common in Asian female. As TAK predominantly affects young female with a longer life expectancy than those with atherosclerotic diseases, assessing the specific long-term outcomes of TAK treatment is important. Therefore,...

description Purpose: Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare form of chronic vasculitis that is common in Asian female. As TAK predominantly affects young female with a longer life expectancy than those with atherosclerotic diseases, assessing the specific long-term outcomes of TAK treatment is important. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and post-procedural complications of surgical and endovascular treatment for TAK. Materials and Methods : This single-center retrospective observational study reviewed 545 consecutive patients diagnosed with TAK between 1983 and 2020 at Seoul National University Hospital. Of these, 56 patients who underwent 73 extracardiac interventions were enrolled in the study. The data included clinical features, angiographic and laboratory findings, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes. Results : The mean age of the participants was 40.3±20.3 years, with a predominance of female (75.0%). The mean follow-up duration was 147.7±111.6 months. The most common comorbidity was hypertension (n=42, 75.0%), followed by heart failure (n=12, 21.4%). The most frequent symptom of TAK was uncontrolled hypertension (n=36, 64.3%). The renal artery (n=23, 31.5%) was the most frequently revascularized vessel, followed by the supra-aortic branches, including the innominate, subclavian, vertebral, and carotid arteries (n=19; 26.0%). In the endovascular group, the primary patency rates at 5, 10, and 20 years were 42.2%, 31.7%, and 17.0%, respectively. The rates in the surgical group were 84.4%, 75.7%, and 59.0%, respectively. This difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The difference in the secondary patency rates between the two groups was not statistically significant. The most common early complication (≤1 month) was arterial dissection (n=4, 5.5%), whereas the most prevalent late complication (>1 month) was restenosis, which occurred significantly more frequently in the endovascular group than in the surgical group (55.0% vs. 12.1%, P<0.001). Conclusion : Surgical and endovascular treatments for TAK are safe. However, restenosis develops more frequently after endovascular treatment compared to surgical treatment, particularly within the first three years. Increased periodic serial monitoring is recommended during this period.
