Introduction
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare large-vessel arteritis that primarily affects the aorta and its major branches. The greatest challenge is to identify disease activity, since therapeutic measures modify the clinical course of the disease.
Vascular ultrasonography (VUS) is a promising tool for characterizing vessel wall inflammation and monitoring hemodynamic changes in response to therapy.
