Large-vessel vasculitis (LVV) manifests as inflammation of the aorta and its major branches
and is the most common primary vasculitis in adults. LVV comprises two distinct conditions …

Systemic vasculitis are rare heterogeneous disorders potentially involving any organ and
system with a relevant burden of mortality and comorbidity. As in the previous annual …

Giant cell (GCA) and Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) are 2 forms of large-vessel vasculitis (LVV)
that involve the aorta and its major branches. GCA has a predilection for the cranial …

The systemic vasculitides are multisystem disorders characterised by the inflammation of
blood vessels and tissue necrosis. They are often associated with considerable morbidity …

Systemic vasculitides are heterogeneous disabling diseases characterised by chronic
inflammation of the blood vessels potentially leading to tissue destruction and organ failure …

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 …

Objective. Disease activity in large-vessel vasculitis (LVV) is traditionally assessed by
clinical and serological variables rather than vascular imaging. This study determined the …

Advances in diagnostic techniques including proteomic and genomic approaches should
improve our understanding of the pathogenesis as well as the assessment of disease …

Imaging studies play a central role in diagnosing and monitoring giant-cell and Takayasu
arteritis. Deep, large vessels can be examined by CT or MRI, while colour Doppler …

Temporal arteritis, including large-vessel giant cell arteritis, and Takayasu's arteritis are the
two primary large-vessel vasculitides. Patients with temporal arteritis often present with …
