The inflammation and ischemic of the organs supplied by the involved arteries often leads to clinical manifestations such asymmetrical pulsation and intermittent claudication of the extremities intractable hypertension. Takayasu Arteritis is diagnosed based on the signs and symptoms from the organ ischemic changes and characteristic imaging findings. Takayasu Arteritis could result in High rates of maternal hypertension (5.3% To 100%) and pre clampsia (2.7% To 75.9%) and they are associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. In yearly clinical practice most of the takayasu patient.
