Core Tip

Core tip: This is a very interesting case of Takayasu’s arteritis, which is a relatively rare reason for innominate artery aneurysm. The patient had innominate artery and right carotid artery aneurysms. The patient also suffered from occlusion of the left carotid artery, subclavian artery, and the initial part of the left vertebral artery. The condition of aortic valve insufficiency also increased the difficulty of the surgery.
