摘要

This study confirms that TAB biopsy length is a determinant of a histological diagnosis of temporal arteritis, and confirms that a TAB length ≥ 15 mm is optimal. Approximately half the biopsies in this study were shorter than this optimal length, which has likely led to under-diagnosis of biopsy-proven GCA in SA. Further work is needed to ensure appropriate TAB biopsy length.
