Described in the article is a case report concerning a female patient presenting with aortic valve insufficiency, lesions of the pulmonary artery, aortic arch branches, visceral and renal arteries, aneurysm of the whole aorta on the background of nonspecific aortoarteritis (NAA). Lesions of the pulmonary artery, aorta and its branches were diagnosed by means of MSCT angiography, which is the most informative method of study in this cohort of patients, making it possible to accurately diagnose both the degree of the lesion and its extent, as well as to carry out dynamic follow up of patients.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007166	Immunosuppressive Agents	Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
