Temporal artery biopsy in giant cell arteritis: clinical perspectives and histological patterns [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine
Although its role has been debated, temporal artery biopsy (TAB) remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of cranial giant cell arteritis (GCA). The specificity of TAB is excellent and the sensitivity, albeit lower, is comparable with other diagnostic

Diagnosis of giant cell arteritis by temporal artery biopsy is associated with biopsy length [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
AimsTemporal artery biopsy (TAB) is a widely used method for establishing a diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA). The optimal TAB length for accurate histological GCA diagnosis has been suggested as 15 mm post-fixation (15–20 mm pre-fixation). The aim
