- W933298368 abstract "OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefullness of FDG PET in early identification of aortitis in patients with Takayasu arteritis presented as young stroke. BACKGROUND: Takayasu’s arteritis is a chronic granulomatous, primary vasculitis affecting large vessels with 10[percnt] of the people present as young stroke. Clinically Aymmetric pulse made us suspect takayasu and Diagnosis made by angiography which is gold standard. More recently, vascular FDG-PET is emerging tool for vascular inflammation. DESIGN/METHODS: Total of 9 patients with young stroke having takayasu arteritis diagnosed according to American college of rheumatology criteria . Six patients with Takayasu arteritis in the active stage(showing elevated level of general inflammatory markers), 3 patients with Takayasu arteritis in the inactive stage, underwent FDG-PET and the inflammatory vascular lesion was evaluated by using the standardized uptake value (SUV) of FDG accumulation as an index. Patient were treated with steroids/immunomodulators and a follow up FDG PET done after 1 month to monitor treatment response. RESULTS: The FDG PET revealed intense FDG accumulation (SUV > 2.7) in the vasculature of 4 cases in the active stage of Takayasu arteritis. The other 2 patients in the active stage revealed weak FDG accumulation (2.3 > SUV < 1.2). No significant FDG accumulation was observed in the patients with inactive disease (SUV < 1.2). Given the cutoff SUV is 1.3, the sensitivity of FDG PET analysis of Takayasu arteritis is 66.67[percnt]. Finally, FDG accumulation resolved with therapy in 6 active cases. CONCLUSIONS: The FDG PET images in Takayasu helps in early detection, evaluate the disease extent, grading based on the standardized uptake value and idealy to monitor the treatment response.
