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 …

To develop evidence-based recommendations for the use of imaging modalities in primary
large vessel vasculitis (LVV) including giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK) …

Background Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a relatively common form of primary systemic
vasculitis, which, if left untreated, can lead to permanent sight loss. We compared ultrasound …

Objective. Permanent visual impairment has been reported to occur in up to 19% of GCA
patients. The aim of this study was to examine whether implementation of a fast-track …

Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is the most common form of primary vasculitis comprising of
giant cell arteritis (GCA), Takayasu's arteritis (TAK) and idiopathic aortitis. Early diagnosis …

We conducted a large-scale genetic analysis on giant cell arteritis (GCA), a polygenic
immune-mediated vasculitis. A case-control cohort, comprising 1,651 case subjects with …

Objectives To define the elementary ultrasound (US) lesions in giant cell arteritis (GCA) and
to evaluate the reliability of the assessment of US lesions according to these definitions in a …

Objective Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) can detect inflammation in the vessel wall.
No studies have evaluated the examination of the common carotid artery by CDUS in the …

Objective The main objective of this study was to compare disease burden in rheumatoid
arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (ax-SpA). Methods In this …

Background Although techniques and options for suitable graft substitutes for anterior
