Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is defined as a disease mainly affecting the large arteries, with
two major variants, Takayasu arteritis (TA) and giant cell arteritis (GCA). GCA often coexists …

Surgical aortic specimens are usually examined in Pathology Departments as a result of
treatment of aneurysms or dissections. A number of diseases, genetic syndromes (Marfan …

GCA is a chronic, idiopathic, granulomatous vasculitis of medium and large arteries. It
comprises overlapping phenotypes including classic cranial arteritis and extra-cranial GCA …

Background Necroscopic and surgical studies have suggested that giant cell arteritis (GCA)
may target the aorta and its main branches. Imaging techniques are able to detect large …

Objectives To evaluate incidence-trends and timing of large-vessel (LV) manifestations in
patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), and to examine the influence of LV manifestations on …

Abstract Purpose of Review Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK) are auto-
inflammatory and autoimmune diseases with a highly selective tissue tropism for medium …

Purpose Management of giant cell arteritis (GCA, Horton's disease) involves many
uncertainties. This work was undertaken to establish French recommendations for GCA …

Inflammatory diseases of the aorta include routine atherosclerosis, aortitis, periaortitis, and
atherosclerosis with excessive inflammatory responses, such as inflammatory …

Colour duplex sonography (CDS) of temporal arteries and large vessels is an emerging
diagnostic tool for GCA. CDS can detect wall oedema, known as a halo, throughout the …

Objectives Large-vessel involvement (LVI) can occur in giant-cell arteritis (GCA) and may
represent a distinct disease subgroup with a higher risk for aortic dilation. This study aimed …
