Abstract
The article presents a rare clinical case of non-specific arteritis involving the vessels of the brachiocephalic arteries system, the clinical course of which was characterized by manifestations of chronic cerebral insufficiency without signs of focal neurological deficit in the history and upon hospitalization, but accompanied by pronounced, widespread vascular involvement supplying the brain, with tandem common carotid artery lesions (critical stenosis of the common carotid artery and occlusion of the common carotid artery on the contralateral side), occlusion of both subclavian arteries and the right vertebral artery. This type of lesion is associated with a high risk of developing ischemic stroke and death, which was an indication for subsequent surgical treatment. In addition, the pronounced inflammatory process in the vessel wall and perivascular structures, the rate of disease progression, as well as the absence of subcutaneous veins of the necessary diameter, immunosuppression in the background of taking hormonal drugs, led to the decision to use arterial donor allograft as a biological material for subsequent reconstructive surgical intervention.
