Abstract
Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the aorta and its major branches. Aortic aneurysm is a severe complication of TA, with an estimated mortality rate of 50% in patients that undergo surgery for a rupture [1]. We herein reviewed the clinical, paraclinical and operation characteristics of a 9-year-old male patient, who had a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta due to TA, and was successfully treated by open emergency surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass support.
