Hyderabad: The neuro team of Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad have successfully treated a 42-year-patient Mallesham, hailing from Medipally mandal, Karimnagar, who was suffering from a very rare medical condition known as Takayasu’s arteritis.

Senior interventional radiologist, Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad, Dr Suresh Giragani said Takayasu’s arteritis is a rare type of vasculitis, a group of disorders that cause blood vessels inflammation.
