Nine patients with Takayasu's arteritis and a long stenotic segment of the abdominal aorta were treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Intermittent claudication disappeared in six of seven cases, the femoral pulse reappeared in all five; ankle/arm indices increased in seven cases; elevated blood pressure normalized in seven of eight cases. Seven patients were followed for 3 to 28 months. They were all free of symptoms from the lower extremities. In three patients with or without renal artery stenosis and with hypertension, the blood pressure decreased after PTA of the abdominal aorta only. PTA may be a valuable treatment in Takayasu's arteritis and stenosis of the abdominal aorta.
9例患有高安动脉炎且腹主动脉有长段狭窄的患者接受了经皮腔内血管成形术（PTA）治疗。7例患者中的6例间歇性跛行消失，5例患者的股动脉搏动均重新出现；7例患者的踝/臂指数升高；8例患者中的7例血压升高恢复正常。7例患者随访3至28个月。他们下肢均无症状。3例有或无肾动脉狭窄且患有高血压的患者，仅在腹主动脉进行PTA后血压下降。PTA可能是治疗高安动脉炎和腹主动脉狭窄的一种有效方法。
