Takayasu`s arteritis is one of chronic inflammatory disease characteristically involving the aorta and its major branches. Symptoms and signs of the disease are various depending on the involved area. We experienced a surgical case of Takayasu`s arteritis mainly involving both renal arteries with renovascular hypertension in a 13 year old girl. Hypertension was not controlled by medical treatment including diuretics and captopril [160/140 mmHg]. Aortogram showed severely stenosed right renal artery, nearly obstructed left renal artery and not visulalized superior mesenteric artery. Angioplasty was performed for the right renal artery but aorta-renal bypass graft with greater saphenous vein was inevitable for the left renal artery. Blood pressure was controlled sufficiently with some adjunct of captopril postoperatively [130/90 mmHg]. While the patient was discharged with much improvement, she was lost follow up and died of not identified definitive cause 3 months later.
