Background/Purpose: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, formerly Churg-Strauss) belongs to the group of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV). There are no recent data on…Abstract Number: 1877 • ACR Convergence 2023
Diagnostic Yield of 18F-FDG PET-CT for Large Vessel Involvement in Patients with Suspected Giant Cell Arteritis and Negative Temporal Artery Biopsy
Background/Purpose: Every effort should be made to confirm a suspected diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA). According to the 2018 update of the EULAR recommendations…Abstract Number: 2399 • ACR Convergence 2023
Ultrasound Is Comparable to Computed Tomography Angiography in Identifying Aortic Aneurysms in Patients with Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with Giant cell arteritis (GCA) face an elevated risk of aneurysm formation. Despite this, consensus regarding optimal aortic visualization methods and aneurysm monitoring…Abstract Number: 2421 • ACR Convergence 2023
Optic Nerve Sheath Measurement on Ultrasound: A Novel Diagnostic Test for Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Confirming the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) remains challenging. Available diagnostic tests have limited accuracy and availability. Recently, optic nerve sheath enhancement on…Abstract Number: 0479 • ACR Convergence 2023
Exploring Reproductive Experiences with Women Enrolled in the Vasculitis Pregnancy Registry
Background/Purpose: There are limited data on the reproductive health and experiences of women with vasculitis. This study engaged women with vasculitis to understand their perspectives…Abstract Number: 0704 • ACR Convergence 2023
Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Patients Found to Have Clinically Isolated Aortitis After Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Single-Center Experience
Background/Purpose: Clinically isolated aortitis (CIA), or aortitis in the absence of identifiable systemic vasculitis, is typically discovered histopathologically after aortic aneurysm repair. The approach to…Abstract Number: 1040 • ACR Convergence 2023
Impact of Ultrasound Limitation to Assess Aortitis in Patients with Giant Cell Arteritis: Comparative Study with FDG-PET/CT
Background/Purpose: Aortitis is a serious potential complication of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) and may lead to dilation, aneurysms or dissection. Since ultrasound (US)…Abstract Number: 1556 • ACR Convergence 2023
Abdominal Surgical Interventions Among Patients with Gastrointestinal Involvement of Behçet Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Gastrointestinal involvement of Behçet's syndrome (GIBS) may require surgery in up to one third of the patients. We aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics,…Abstract Number: 1882 • ACR Convergence 2023
Imaging in Diagnosis, Monitoring and Outcome Prediction of Large Vessel Vasculitis: A Systematic Literature Review Informing the 2023 Update of the EULAR Recommendations
Background/Purpose: Since the development of the EULAR recommendations for the use of imaging in large vessel vasculitis (LVV) in 2017, new data has emerged in…Abstract Number: 2400 • ACR Convergence 2023
Applanation Tonometry of the Temporal Arteries in Participants with Suspected Giant Cell Arteritis: A Proof of Concept
Background/Purpose: Applanation tonometry (ATn) is a non-invasive, point-of-care tool used to capture arterial pressure waveforms. It can measure arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker…
