Prognosis and long term outcome of stenotic large vessel involvement in giant cell arteritis.

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the prognosis and long-term outcomes associated with stenotic large vessel involvement in giant cell arteritis (GCA).
• Analyzed cases of giant cell arteritis with stenotic large vessel involvement.
• Assessed vascular prognosis outcomes.
• Considered long-term clinical implications of stenosis.
• Identified stenotic LVV in less than 10% of GCA cases.
• Observed a correlation between stenotic LVV and poor vascular outcomes.
