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.
高安动脉炎累及肺动脉提示患有该病。我们的目的是利用电子束CT研究高安动脉炎患者的肺动脉变化。
高安动脉炎患者CT上弥漫性管壁增厚及扩张或狭窄的发生率显著高于对照组。了解这些发现可能对评估肺动脉受累情况有价值，从而有助于高安动脉炎的诊断。
