The American surgeon, 1990
Though surgeons have little input in the selection of patients for temporal-artery biopsy, a knowledge of temporal-artery anatomy and the pathophysiology of temporal arteritis is important. All temporal-artery biopsies done at Carraway Methodist Medical Center between January 1980 and January 1985 were reviewed. Seventy-three biopsies were performed on

Technique for Temporal Artery Biopsy
Vascular Surgery, 1993Temporal artery biopsy is generally considered an easy or routine operation. However, documented low-benefit yield of the procedure may be influenced by shoddy surgical sampling. A method of temporal artery biopsy is presented that allows efficient harvesting and handling of adequate vessel length to aid in assessment of possible temporal arteritis ...

[Indications for biopsy of the temporal artery].
Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde, 1993Indications for Temporal Artery Biopsy are often discussed in the diagnosis of temporal arteritis.
