The authors present a brief literature review about coadjuvant treatment with stents in Takayasu Arteritis and report a case of a 27 year old woman showing a holocranial cephalalgia, associated with nausea, fainting and dizziness. Simultaneously she suffered blurred sight and claudication of the upper limbs. Among the different diagnostic possibilities, the hypothesis of Takayasu Arteritis was first considered and later confirmed. Coadjuvant treatment by a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stents was performed.
