Takayashu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the large arteries, usually affecting the aorta and its large branches and the pulmonary arteries, with a higher incidence during the childbearing years. We report the case of a 33-year-old patient, primigravida with Takayashu arteritis diagnosed three years ago. At 37 weeks of gestation, she was admitted for a pre-eclampsia and a left ventricular insufficiency. Elective caesarean section under general anesthesia after joint decision between the attending obstetrician and the medical and anesthetic consultants, and allowed the extraction of a hypotrophic baby. The association of pregnancy with Takayashu's arteritis is almost always uneventful. It is associated with high values of maternal blood pressure and severe intra-uterine growth retardation.

We evaluated immediate and long-term results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stent placement to treat stenotic and occluded arteries in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia. Fourteen patients were treated by 3 exclusive celiac artery (CA) PTAs (2 stentings), 3 cases with both Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) and CA angioplasties, and 8 exclusive SMA angioplasties (3 stentings). Eleven patients had atheromatous stenoses with one case of an early onset atheroma in an HIV patient with antiphospholipid syndrome.
