Abstract
Takayasu's disease is a chronic vasculitis affecting the aorta and its main branches. The main complication of this disease during pregnancy is severe preeclampsia and its complications that can lead to fetal death in utero. Multidisciplinary surveillance is recommended. Currently no preventive treatment is validated. An evaluation of antiplatelet agents and corticosteroids is therefore necessary.
