We report a case of Takayasu's arteritis with predominant pulmonary involvement, which led eventually to complete obliteration of the right pulmonary artery. Subsequently, cavitation and chronic inflammation developed in the nonperfused right lung. A right pneumonectomy was performed to control the infectious process, leading to functional improvement and better control of the underlying immunologic disorder.
我们报告一例以肺部受累为主的大动脉炎病例，该病例最终导致右肺动脉完全闭塞。随后，未灌注的右肺出现空洞形成和慢性炎症。为控制感染进程进行了右肺切除术，从而使功能得到改善，并更好地控制了潜在的免疫紊乱。
