Prevalence and clinical severity of takayasu arteritis angiographic types: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Takayasu arteritis is a rare inflammatory disease that primarily affects medium- and large-sized arteries, particularly the aorta and its branches. The Hata classification defines six angiographic types based on the involved aortic segments. Clinical symptoms May vary depending on the distribution of arterial involvement. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of each angiographic type and evaluate their associations with clinical Manifestations.A systematic search of electronic databases was conducted to identify studies reporting angiographic classifications and clinical symptoms in patients with Takayasu arteritis. Pooled prevalence estimates were calculated using R software, including subgroup analyses by geographic area and imaging modality. M
