Sonographic study on vessel wall remodelling of the cranial and axillary arteries in giant cell arteritis under treatment: implications for diagnosis of relapses and impact of tocilizumab treatment
Our results help to interpret repeated IMT measurements of the affected cranial and extracranial arteries in patients with GCA undergoing treatment. Repeated ultrasound examinations appear to be of limited diagnostic value in the diagnosis of relapsing GCA.
