Takayasu arteritis is usually defined as a chronic, progressive, inflammatory, occlusive disease of the aorta and its branches. However, we should remind Takayasu arteritis as a systemic disease. Here I describe nonclassical and catastrophic manifestations of the Takayasu arteritis, which often go unrecognized until after the event. Especially I stress that we should focus on cardiopulmonary complications in Takayasu arteritis.
高安动脉炎通常被定义为一种累及主动脉及其分支的慢性、进行性、炎症性、闭塞性疾病。然而，我们应将高安动脉炎视为一种全身性疾病。在此，我描述高安动脉炎的非典型和灾难性表现，这些表现往往在事件发生后才被认识到。尤其要强调的是，我们应关注高安动脉炎的心肺并发症。
