Previous studies reported a 2-to 17-fold higher risk of aortic complications (dilation or
dissection) in patients with giant-cell arteritis (GCA). We aimed to determine whether or not
GCA patients with large-vessel involvement demonstrated by positron emission tomography
with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose combined with computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) have a
higher risk of aortic complications. We conducted a retrospective multicenter study between
1995 and 2014. Patients were included if they fulfilled at least 3 American College of …
