A CT angiogram of the
abdominal aorta was done, revealing significant thickening of the wall of the
abdominal aorta with luminal narrowing, and there was a focal dissection flap in the aorta near the renal artery ostia site (Figure 1).
It was disappointing to learn about this magnitude of steroid use in this patient population as [ruptured

CE-MRA revealed 50% stenosis in the right subclavian artery and 55% stenosis in the left subclavian artery, with long-segment severe stenosis in the
abdominal aorta extending into the proximal portion of the bilateral renal artery Mural irregularities and thickening with significant contrast enhancement in the vascular walls were observed on performing CE-MRI, with black blood T1-weighted sequence strongly suggesting vasculitis.
Gore & Associates) was deployed in the infrarenal

CT abdominal aortogram showed large thrombus seen in the
abdominal aorta starting at the level of renal arteries completely occluding the aorta and common iliac arteries with no blood flow seen beyond the renal artery level up to the aortic bifurcation; moderate to severe stenosis is noted at the origin of both renal arteries because of thrombus (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).
