S Chauvaud, L Mace, P Brunewald, JL Tricot, JP Camilleri and A Carpentier

The case of a 60-year-old patient with severe stenosis of both proximal pulmonary arteries resulting from Takayasu's arteritis is reported. The thoracic aorta and pulmonary artery were calcified. Patch enlargement of the pulmonary arteries was successfully performed. Operative biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of nonspecific arteritis consistent with Takayasu's disease.
