- Abstract
- Pulmonary artery involvement in Takayasu's arteritis is suggestive of the disease. Our aim was to use electron beam CT to study pulmonary artery changes in patients with Takayasu's arteritis. Diffuse wall thickening and dilatation or stenosis were significantly more frequent on CT in patients with Takayasu's arteritis than in the control subjects. Knowledge of these findings may be of value when assessing pulmonary artery involvement and thus may be helpful for the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis.
