Abstract
Takayasu arteritis（TA）is a large vessel vasculitis． Young women are commonly affected． Pregnant
patients with TA complicate with hypertension，heart failure，dissecting aneurysm of aorta， intracranial
hemorrhage，spontaneous abortion and intrauterine growth retardation．However，it is limited to report on the
optimal management fbr peripartum period in the patients．We experienced a 28-year-old pregnant woman with
TA who had suffered from obstruction and narrowing of aortic arch for 12 years until the diagnosis．She became
pregnant by permission under the stable condition．As we controlled her hypertension and the disease activity
under the strict guidance，she was normally delivered and got healthy baby． An interdisciplinary collaboration
among rheumatologists，nephrologists and obstetricians needs to manage for peripartum period．
