Clinical characteristics and long-term outcome of Takayasu Arteritis in Iran: A Multicenter Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The clinical features and angiographic type of TA in Iran are different from most Asian countries. Differences in angiographic and clinical features may lead to delayed diagnosis. The issue of delay in diagnosis should create awareness among health care providers that TA is not a very rare disease in Iranians and failure to pay attention to warning symptoms may delay the diagnosis.
