Spontaneous resolution of the arterial obstruction in Takayasu's arteritis is rarely reported. We reported a case of spontaneous resolution of an obstruction of the left subclavian artery in a young female. The patient underwent a bilateral coronary patch ostioplasty for both coronary ostial lesions complicated by Takayasu's arteritis at the age of 28. Concomitant left subclavian obstruction was seen at that time but left untreated. Surprisingly, the 10-year follow-up angiogram revealed complete resolution of the left subclavian artery obstruction. Meanwhile, no specific medical treatment was administered.
大动脉炎中动脉阻塞的自发缓解鲜有报道。我们报告了一例年轻女性左锁骨下动脉阻塞自发缓解的病例。该患者28岁时因并发大动脉炎的双侧冠状动脉开口病变接受了双侧冠状动脉补片成形术。当时发现伴有左锁骨下动脉阻塞,但未予治疗。令人惊讶的是,10年随访血管造影显示左锁骨下动脉阻塞完全缓解。同时,未给予任何特殊治疗。
