Improving pulmonary perfusion in a child with Takayasu's arteritis

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a form of granulomatous arteritis of unknown etiology, which frequently involves pulmonary artery (PA) also. Here, we describe a report of a 14-year-old boy with TA and disabling pulmonary compromise, who was treated by PA angioplasty and stenting. The fact that he...
