Assessment of disease activity control and evaluation strategy in patients with Takayasu arteritis undergoing cardiac surgery: a retrospective cohort study

1

The study evaluated 64 Takayasu arteritis patients undergoing cardiac surgery under a multidisciplinary management protocol.
2

Patients with Takayasu arteritis had a higher incidence of surgical site complications compared to matched non-Takayasu controls.
3

No significant differences were found in early postoperative mortality or mid-term survival between Takayasu and non-Takayasu patients.
4

Takayasu patients faced increased long-term risks of cardiovascular re-hospitalization and new cardiovascular surgeries.
5

The risk of initial surgical failure did not significantly differ between Takayasu patients and matched non-Takayasu controls.
