Abstract
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory illness of the major arteries that is extremely rare. It mainly affects women of reproductive age which increases the risk of cardiovascular problems such hypertension and congestive heart failure. In this study, we discuss the case of a pregnant woman with TA who was diagnosed and managed successfully at a tertiary care facility with a good outcome. As a result, comprehensive care for TA patients has been shown to be critical in achieving optimal maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes.
