Takayasu's disease (pulseless disease) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the medium and large arteries, with a strong predilection for the aortic arch and its branches; hence, it sometimes is referred to as aortic arch syndrome. The etiology is unknown, although a systemic immunologic process seems most likely. About half the reported cases also revealed involvement of the pulmonary and renal arteries. The involvement is more marked in the origin of the vessel than distally. Although it is more common among Orientals, its distribution is worldwide, without racial boundary. A case is presented in which captopril renal scintigraphy and digital subtraction angiography were used to show renal artery stenosis as the cause of the patient's hypertension.
高安氏病（无脉症）是一种罕见的慢性炎症性疾病，主要累及中、大动脉，尤其好发于主动脉弓及其分支；因此，它有时被称为主动脉弓综合征。病因不明，不过最有可能是一种全身性免疫过程。在报告的病例中，约有一半还显示肺动脉和肾动脉受累。血管起始处的受累比远端更明显。尽管在东方人中更常见，但其分布是全球性的，没有种族界限。本文介绍了一例使用卡托普利肾闪烁扫描和数字减影血管造影显示肾动脉狭窄是患者高血压病因的病例。
