Abstract

Takayasu arteritis is a rare vasculitis of the aorta and its branches. Here, we present a teenaged athlete with coronary arteritis and pyoderma gangrenosum, the youngest person whose case is described in the literature. She received immune modulation and percutaneous coronary intervention, with subsequent in-stent restenosis and cardiac arrest requiring coronary artery bypass grafting.

Keywords: autoimmune; coronary artery bypass; percutaneous coronary intervention; vascular disease.
