Angiographic classification of pulmonary vascular lesion in Takayasu arteritis: A cohort study

Percutaneous transluminal pulmonary angioplasty (PTPA) can significantly improve the haemodynamics and prognosis of patients with Takayasu arteritis and pulmonary artery involvement. However, the choice of PTPA is mainly based on clinical experience. We aim to classify pulmonary artery lesions in Takayasu arteritis according to pulmonary angiogram and evaluate the PTPA success rate and technical difficulty of different types of lesions.
