Filter by:Inflammatory aortitis probably represents a heterogeneous group, and the clinical experience accumulated over the last ten years, shared by the experts of the subject, is that the initial clinical, biological or radiological characteristics should make it possible to differentiate them and dismember the Nosological field. This will be an essential first step before studying prognosis, risk factors, and therapeutic options. The search for diagnostic criteria on a large series, similar to the study of classification of vascularites of the ACR in 1990, should make it possible to homogenize the diagnoses for the different teams working on the subject, and to begin work Collaborations, which alone can improve patient care in the future.
The purpose of this study is to collect existing tissue specimens from subjects enrolled in Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC) studies. Analysis of these tissue specimens and linked clinical data collected through VCRC studies may lead to the identification and development of a series of translational research projects. Results of these studies will provide vasculitis researchers with insight into the causes of these diseases and generate new ideas for diagnostic tests and therapies, and will be of great interest to the larger communities of researchers investigating vasculitis and other autoimmune, inflammatory, and vascular diseases.
