We report the active TA case who had severe heart failure due to acute myocardial infarction and aortic regurgitation. Bentall procedure was successfully performed, but he had severely depressed left ventricular function and muscle wasting together with vascular inflammation. The treatment with tocilizumab, an interleukin-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, in addition to prednisolone and standard heart failure therapy led to prompt remission of TA activity and improvement of left ventricular function and muscle wasting. Taken together with possible involvement of interleukin-6 in the pathogenesis of heart failure and muscle wasting, inhibition of interleukin-6 receptor signalling by tocilizumab may be a safe and reasonable approach in the treatment of active TA with heart failure and muscle wasting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ehf2.12487","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,11]],"date-time":"2019-07-11T23:03:51Z","timestamp":1562886231000},"page":"894-897","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Utility
