Surgical management of giant cell arteritis of the proximal aorta
Surgery in patients with GCA can be performed with acceptable early and late outcomes. Advancing age, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease are risk factors for worse survival. Postoperative surveillance is important as need for aortic reintervention is not uncommon.
