Longitudinal Characterization of Vascular Inflammation and Disease Activity in Takayasu Arteritis and Giant Cell Arteritis: ASingle‐CenterProspective Study

Abstract: Objective To examine and compare disease activity over time in giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu arteritis (TAK) using multimodal assessment combining clinical, laboratory, and imaging‐based testing. Methods Patients with GCA or TAK were enrolled into a single‐center prospective, observational cohort at any point in the disease course. Patients underwent standardized assessment, including 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG‐PET) at enrollment and follow‐up visits. Each FDG‐PET findin… Show more

“…After a median follow up of 2.6 years, there was no significant decrease in PETVAS in TA patients. Also, there was no direct correlation between PETVAS during follow up and clinical and biological activity ( 73 ).…”

“…The PETVAS was higher in GCA than in TAK at baseline assessment. Over follow-up, the PETVAS significantly reduced with time in GCA but not in TAK [ 68 ]. A further study from this group compared various quantitative and qualitative measures of LVV activity on PET-CT in 95 patients (43 TAK, 52 GCA) over 206 visits (75 visits during active disease).…”
