1 Introduction Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare autoimmune vasculitis that primarily affects the aorta and its branches, with a predilection for young Asian women under 40 years old [1]. Often referred to as the “pulseless disease,” TA is characterized by diminished pulses in the upper extremities, posing diagnostic challenges for healthcare professionals [2]. Despite a prevalence of 2.6 cases per million in the United States, higher rates are reported in Asian countries, Mexico, and Japan [3].
