Abstract

Background

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) may be complicated by aortic dilatation/aneurysm (aortic structural damage; ASD), which may lead to life-threatening events. In GCA patients, ASD occurs 17.3 times more frequently than in the general population, affecting up to 33.3% of patients after long term follow-up1. ASD is in most cases a delayed complication and its pathophysiology is unclear. Necropsy/surgery specimens from...
