[The comprehensive diagnosis of the aortic arch syndrome in nonspecific aortoarteritis].

The authors provide a scheme of a comprehensive diagnosis of the aortic arch syndrome in nonspecific aortoarteritis. It includes the clinical and laboratory data together with the data on the anamnesis, angiography and ultrasound dopplerography. The derangement of the aortic arch was diagnosed in 65 (41%) out of 128 patients. There were 53 (81.5%) women and 12 (18.5%) men. The derangement of the branches of the aortic arch was most frequently (in 33.8% patients) associated with vasorenal hypertension syndrome. The use of modern research methods in combination with the clinical data and findings of objective examinations turned out fairly effective in the diagnosis of the derangement of the aortic arch in nonspecific aortoarteritis.
