Progress in diagnosis and treatment of immune disease related aortic lesions
Immune-related aortic disease has always been a challenging lesion in vascular surgery,characterized by obstructive or dilated lesions in the aorta,leading to ischemia of organs and limbs,as well as the high mortality risk from aneurysm rupture.Previously,there was a lack of specificity in the diagnosis of the immune diseases that cause such aortic lesions,which may result in deficiencies in the comprehensive management of the disease.With the develop-ment of medical science,the management of this disease has been significantly improved,but its research progress still needs to be systematically summarized.This review aims to conclude the current status of the management for common immune-related aortic diseases(Takayasu's aortitis,giant cell arteritis,Behcet's arteritis)from diagnosis and therapy perspectives,and to provide recommendations for different types of aortic lesions,as well as to guide clinical work and future development in this field.
