Introduction Chronic kidney disease is a global public health issue, affecting more than 10% of adults worldwide (1). Impaired kidney function is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality (2). Numerous studies have suggested that non-dialysis-dependent kidney dysfunction is closely linked to heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and the incidence of CVD in asymptomatic populations (3, 4).
In our study, we documented that 53.5% of TAK patients had aortic valvular involvement. Aortic valvular insufficiency was the most common aortic valvular lesion, and Numano type V was the most common type, followed by Numano type IIb. Inflammatory cells infiltrating was found in our pathological specimens of the resected aortic valve.
