Temporal artery biopsy: this delicate procedure is pivotal in the diagnosis of temporal arteritisDerek N. CunninghamWalter O. Whitley
Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) is one of the diagnostic criteria of giant cell arteritis (GCA) according to 1990 ACR criteria and remains a tool for diagnosis. Although clinicians perform TAB with an intent to confirm suspected GCA, some biopsies result in negative and some lead to non-GCA ...
Although temporal artery biopsy (TAB) may be con-sidered a gold standard for the diagnosis of GCA, there issignificant debate over how accurately a definitive diag-nosis can
Histologic confirmation of the diagnosis with a temporal artery biopsy makes an important contribution to all 3 of these stages. A positive tissue diagnosis provides the clinician with the conviction to maintain high dosages of corticosteroids for a prolonged period, even if significant steroid-induced...
Our study provides guidance for surgical subspecialists towards maximising the potential for histological diagnosis of giant cell arteritis by temporal artery biopsy, and minimising the risks associated with this minor surgical procedure. Despite recommendations, a consensus is yet to be reached on an op...
Archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) temporal artery biopsy (TAB) specimens potentially represent a valuable resource for large-scale genetic analysis of this disease. FFPE TAB samples were obtained from 12 patients with GCA. Extracted TAB DNA was assessed by real time PCR before ...
