From: Atypical initial presentation of Takayasu arteritis as isolated supra-valvular aortic stenosis
Intraoperative exploration showing a severe stenotic change with thickening of the ascending aortic wall (a, arrow) and the aneurysmal change (mural thrombus was not presented because of evacuation with suction device) of the left ventricular apex (b, arrow). Postoperative 1-year, a three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction showed the successful surgical repair of stenotic ascending aorta using an aortic valve graft and newly perceived disease of the innominate artery (c)
