Coronary artery involvement and myocardial ischemic symptom in Takayasu`s arteritis is uncommon Its presentation as coronary artery narrowing is a potentially lethal but correctable problem. In this case report, a 17-year-old woman of Takayasu`s arteritis with unstable anginal and moderate heart failure is presented. Her coronary angiogram showed that the main trunk of the left coronary artery was moderately narrowed and the proximal portion of the circumflex branch was severely obstructed and the right coronary artery was also narrowed diffusely. Simultaneously the patient had the moderate degree of mitral regurgitation. In order to save her life, the coronary bypass surgery using the saphenous veins and the modified Wooler`s mitral annuloplasty were done urgently, Immediate recovery was uneventful and the postoperative exercise capacity was markedly improved. But the long-term prognosis seems to be uncertain because of 3 reasons: 1] natural progress and complication of Takayasu`s arthritis; 2] fate of the saphenous vein grafts in a relatively young patient with aortitis; 3] residual mitral regurgitation. So long-term follow-up should be needed.
