| Description |
Temporal artery biopsy is a gold standard for diagnosing giant cell arteritis. One challenge is that arteritis can sometimes manifest in skipped patterns. Obtaining a longer temporal artery, generally at least 2 cm, is recommended to increase the diagnostic yield.1,2 We aimed to verify this number by comparing the ratio of positive results in specimens with length at least 2 cm and less than 2 cm. |
