Background and study aims
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a disease that causes inflammation in large blood vessels, mainly the aorta and its main branches. The cause of TA is unknown. Because TA is rare, we don't fully understand the symptoms and long-term effects in Chinese adults who have cardiovascular events (CVEs). This study aimed to (1) describe the clinical features of CVEs in adults with TA; and (2) summarize the treatment methods and outcomes for stroke patients, focusing on death rates and the chances of having another stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Who can participate?
Inpatients aged 18 years and over who were admitted to hospital with TA
What does the study involve?
The researchers reviewed the medical records of patients with TA who underwent aortic angiography, computed tomography angiogram (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) between January 2000 to December 2024. The incidence, clinical features, management strategy and prognosis of these patients were evaluated.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
This is a retrospective study. There are no possible benefits or risks of participating.
Where is the study run from?
Affiliated Chuiyangliu Hospital of Tsinghua University.
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
January 2025 to February 2025
Who is funding the study?
Investigator initiated and funded

| Scientific title | Clinical characteristics and outcomes of cerebrovascular events in adult Takayasu arteritis: a cohort study of 182 patients |
| Study objectives | Because of the rarity of Takayasu arteritis (TA), clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of Chinese adult TA patients with cerebrovascular events (CVEs) have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to: 1. Describe the ratio and clinical features of CVEs in adult TA patients 2. Summarize the therapeutic strategy and the prognosis of stroke patients, focusing on mortality and recurrence of stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA). |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Cerebrovascular events in adult Takayasu arteritis |
| Intervention | The researchers retrospectively collected 1071 TA subjects and enrolled the patients with CVEs between January 2000 and December 2024. The incidence, clinical features, management strategy and prognosis of these patients were evaluated. |
