Description Histopathologically, there are two patterns considered diagnostic of giant cell arteritis (GCA): those with inflammation of the vessel wall (active arteritis) and those with post-inflammatory alterations (healed arteritis). The aim of our study was to determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes for patients with these two types of positive temporal artery biopsy.
