Apresenta‐se o caso clínico de uma mulher de 47 anos a quem foi feito o diagnóstico de arterite de Takayasu na sequência de doença coronária rapidamente progressiva. O quadro evoluiu rapidamente, sob corticoterapia, com formação de estenoses a nível da circulação carotídea e esplâncnica, tendo‐se conseguido estabilização da doença com pulsos de ciclofosfamida e angioplastia percutânea das lesões. Abstract: Takayasu arteritis is a large vessel vasculitis with various clinical presentations depending on the territories affected. We report the case of a 47‐year‐old woman who was diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis following rapid progression of coronary disease. The condition evolved rapidly under corticosteroid therapy, with formation of new arterial stenoses within the carotid and splanchnic circulations. Disease remission was achieved with cyclophosphamide pulses and percutaneous angioplasty of the affected vessels was performed.
