Abstract

Aortic regurgitation is not a rare complication of Takayasu's disease. Aortic regurgitation may aggravate cerebral ischemic syndrome like syncope in patients with stenotic or occlusive lesions in cerebral branches of aorta secondary to acute or progressive inflammation. In a 34-yrs-old male patient who complained of syncope and exertional dyspnea with occlusion of both carotid arteries and severe stenoses of both subclavian arteries, occlusion of right coronary artery, and aortic regurgitation, his symptom was improved with perioperative aggressive steroid therapy, stent insertion in both subclavian arteries, and aortic valve replacement.

Takayasu씨 동맥염 환자에서 대동맥판막 폐쇄부전은 종종 발생하는 합병증이다. 급성 및 진행성 염증으로 대동맥의 뇌혈관 분지에 협착 또는 폐쇄를 가진 환자에서 실신 등의 허혈성 뇌증상은 대동맥판막 폐쇄부전증의 합병으로 더 악화될 수 있다. 양측 경동맥의 폐쇄와 양측 척추동맥의 협착, 우관상동맥의 폐쇄, 대동맥판막 폐쇄부전증으로 실신 및 호흡곤란을 호소하는 34세 남자 환자에서 수술 전후에 스테로이드의 투여, 양측 쇄골하 동맥에 스텐트의 삽입 및 대동맥판막 치환술로써 증상의 호전을 가져올 수 있었다.
