Abstract
Takayasu arteritis manifests with arterial occlusions and aneurysms. Revascularization is sometimes challenging, especially when carotid arteries are affected. In this report, we present a carotid artery revascularization technique in a patient who was admitted with orthostatic and postprandial transient ischemic attacks, resulting in a diagnosis of bilaterally occluded subclavian and vertebral arteries, occluded left common carotid artery, and severely stenosed right common carotid artery. Clamping of the right carotid artery was a challenge; however, our technique provides a neurologically safe revascularization.
