TA results in stenosis, occlusion or aneu- rysmal degeneration of large arteries pathologically. Al- though TA is an unusual disease, it is more commonly ob- served to occur in Asian females compared to the general population worldwide. Aortic dissection is a very rare com- plication of TA, and only a limited number of TA cases presenting with aortic dissection have been published so far.展开更多

TA is an autoimmune disease, although certain HLA-linked genetic predispositions have been observed. TA affects females 2 to 8 times more fi'equently than males.
