Abstract
Background
Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) is the gold standard to diagnose giant cell arteritis (GCA), but is negative in approximately 20% of patientsObjectives
The study aimed to establish whether Color-doppler-ultrasonography (CDU)-guided TAB might provide a greater yield compared to standard TAB technique in patients with GCAMethods
We enrolled 100 consecutive patients suspected of having GCA from September 2009...Paper Details
