Takayasu arteritis (TA), also known as pulseless disease, occlusive thromboaortopathy, and Martorell syndrome is a well known yet rare form of large vessel vasculitis, where an autoimmune inflammation targets the aorta and its branches,1 typically in young women of reproductive age.2 Coronary arterial involvement in TA is rare (to the extent of 11 %) manifesting as coronary ostial stenosis or occlusion and even more uncommonly as coronary arterial aneurysms.3
