Summary A case of type IV Takayasu's arteritis in whom a renal autotransplant was performed is presented. Extensive cardiovascular measurements were made, which enabled the assessment of vascular responsiveness to various anaesthetic manipulations. The management of the condition is discussed and certain recommendations made in light of the experience gained.
