General Surgeon 's  Response
Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*In Takayasu disesase majority of patients respond to steroids ,
Mycophenolate & Tocilizumab.
*For patients who do not respond to steroids may require revascularization
either via - vascular bypass / angioplasty / stenting .
*Outcome following revascularization vary depending on the severity of the
underlying disease.
Hope this clears your query.
Thanks for using Health Care Magic & keeping trust in our medical services.
Wishing your mother fast and speedy recovery from the same.
Regards dear take care.
