Abstract

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 vessel vasculitis (LVV) non-invasively in patients, but the prevalence of LVV in GCA has not been clearly established.

Objective

To assess prospectively the prevalence, characteristics and topography of LVV in patients with newly diagnosed GCA and to...
