The two main variants of large vessel vasculitis include Takayasu arteritis and giant cell arteritis. While these two conditions have historically been considered different conditions, recent evidence questions whether they are a spectrum of the same disease. Classification criteria are limited in distinguishing between cases with phenotypic overlap. The limitations of the current criteria and directions of future research are reviewed.
大血管血管炎的两种主要变体包括高安动脉炎和巨细胞动脉炎。虽然这两种病症在历史上一直被视为不同的病症，但最近的证据对它们是否为同一疾病的不同表现形式提出了质疑。分类标准在区分具有表型重叠的病例方面存在局限性。本文对当前标准的局限性及未来研究方向进行了综述。
