大动脉炎综合征(Aortitis Syndrome),也称无脉病、高安动脉炎(Takayasu’s arteritis).我国多称为多发性大动脉炎(无脉病).本病首由日本眼科医生高安右人于1908年报告〔18〕.在日本做为一种难治病,从1973年起历时三年在全国进行调查.本文就此做一简要的综述供同志们参考. 大动脉炎综合征(下简称AS)是原因未明的动脉炎,主要累及主动脉及其分枝,近年发现同时累及肺动脉的也很多.本病多见于青年女性,病程变异很大,急慢不一.一般初发时可有周身炎症表现,继之则表现出由于动脉炎所致供血不全症状,还可有继发性高血压、动脉扩张以致动脉瘤.病因迄今虽未肯定,但有一定进展.内科综合治疗以及选择性手术使本病的予后亦有改观〔18〕.日本目前AS患者约2,500～3,000名,每年新发现的约100例以上〔1〕.石川〔11〕分析1101例周围血管病,其中无脉症26例. Aortitis Syndrome, also known as no pulse disease, Takayasu’s arteritis (Takayasu’s arteritis) .China is often referred to as multiple arteritis (no pulse disease) .The disease by the Japanese ophthalmologist Gao Anyiren in 1908 Report [18] in Japan as a kind of refractory disease, which lasted for three years since 1973 in the country to conduct a survey.This paper will do a brief review for comrades reference.Artery inflammation syndrome (hereinafter referred to as AS) is the reason Unidentified arteritis, mainly involving the aorta and its branches, also found in recent years, involving the pulmonary artery are also many of the disease more common in young women, the course of a large variation, slow and slow general onset may have systemic inflammation, Followed by the show due to arterial inflammation caused by incomplete symptoms, but also have secondary hypertension, arterial dilatation to cause aneurysms. Although the cause has not yet been affirmed, but there is some progress. Internal medicine combined with selective surgery to the disease After the change has also been changed 〔18〕 Japan’s current AS patients with about 2,500 ~ 3,000, about 100 new cases found each year 〔1〕 Ishikawa 〔11〕 Analysis of 1101 cases of peripheral vascular disease, including no pulse of disease in 26 cases.
