Aortic dissection and accelerated aneurysmal degeneration in a patient with giant cell arteritis

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is associated with nonatheromatous aortic pathology. Here we present a case in which a 76-year-old woman with a biopsy-proven history of GCA and a previous repair of her ascending aortic aneurysm presents with an acute dissection of a 4-cm aneurysm in the descending thorac...

description Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is associated with nonatheromatous aortic pathology. Here we present a case in which a 76-year-old woman with a biopsy-proven history of GCA and a previous repair of her ascending aortic aneurysm presents with an acute dissection of a 4-cm aneurysm in the descending thoracic aorta. It was treated using endovascular techniques. This report adds to a growing body of evidence that GCA is a risk factor for aortic dissection and nonatheromatous aortic aneurysms.
