Abstract

We report a case of Takayasu's arteritis in a young portuguese woman with severe hyperten­sion that failed to respond to medical treatment, and renal failure. A left nephrectomy was done and a prosthesis was placed between the thoracic aorta and the aortic bifurcation and an aorto-renal graft was inserted. The renal function remains impaired, the patient is in chronic hemodialysis, but was nor­motensive with no further theraphy.
