Takayasu arteritis (TA), a rare type of granulomatous vasculitis characterized by inflammatory changes and stenosis in large and medium sized arteries with a strong predilection for the aortic arch and its branches, usually presented in young female. We are reporting a rare case of TA in 23-year-old male with cardiovascular complication in form of heart failure and hypertension with involvement of right supraclavicular artery and abdominal aorta in form of aneurysm and stenosis, respectively.
