Journal ArticleDOI
Large vessel involvement in biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis: prospective study in 40 newly diagnosed patients using CT angiography
Sergio Prieto-González,Pedro Arguis,Ana García-Martínez,Georgina Espígol-Frigolé,Itziar Tavera-Bahillo,Montserrat Butjosa,Marcelo Sánchez,José Hernández-Rodríguez,Josep M. Grau,Maria C. Cid +9 more
TL;DR: CTA-defined LVV occurs in two-thirds of patients with GCA at the time of diagnosis and aortic dilation is already present in 15%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relapses in Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis: Prevalence, Characteristics, and Associated Clinical Findings in a Longitudinally Followed Cohort of 106 Patients
Marco A. Alba,Ana García-Martínez,Sergio Prieto-González,Itziar Tavera-Bahillo,Marc Corbera-Bellalta,Ester Planas-Rigol,Georgina Espígol-Frigolé,Montserrat Butjosa,José Hernández-Rodríguez,Maria C. Cid +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a relapsing course is associated with higher and prolonged GC requirements and a higher frequency of osteoporosis in GCA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Positron emission tomography assessment of large vessel inflammation in patients with newly diagnosed, biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis: a prospective, case–control study
Sergio Prieto-González,Marina Depetris,Ana García-Martínez,Georgina Espígol-Frigolé,Itziar Tavera-Bahillo,Marc Corbera-Bellata,Ester Planas-Rigol,Marco A. Alba,José Hernández-Rodríguez,Josep M. Grau,Franciso Lomeña,Maria C. Cid +11 more
TL;DR: FDG uptake by large vessels has a substantial sensitivity and specificity for GCA diagnosis, which is significantly higher in patients than in controls and correlated with acute-phase reactants and serum IL-6.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective long term follow-up of a cohort of patients with giant cell arteritis screened for aortic structural damage (aneurysm or dilatation)
Ana García-Martínez,Pedro Arguis,Sergio Prieto-González,Georgina Espígol-Frigolé,Marco A. Alba,Montserrat Butjosa,Itziar Tavera-Bahillo,José Hernández-Rodríguez,Maria C. Cid +8 more
TL;DR: The incidence of ASD is maximal within the first 5 years after diagnosis but continues developing over time, affecting up to 33.3% of individuals after long term follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of glucocorticoid treatment on computed tomography angiography detected large-vessel inflammation in giant-cell arteritis. A prospective, longitudinal study
Sergio Prieto-González,Ana García-Martínez,Itziar Tavera-Bahillo,José Hernández-Rodríguez,José Gutiérrez-Chacoff,Marco A. Alba,Giuseppe Murgia,Georgina Espígol-Frigolé,Marcelo Sánchez,Pedro Arguis,Maria C. Cid +10 more
TL;DR: Signs of LVV improve with treatment, while contrast enhancement resolves in the majority of patients, vessel wall thickening persists in two thirds, and the number of affected segments as well as aortic wall thickness significantly decreases.
