Isolated popliteal artery lesion due to giant cell vasculitis post COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and COVID-19 asymptomatic infection.
Abstract
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a rare granulomatous vasculitis, affecting medium and large vessels, usually in old patients. The incidence of GCA has been higher during current COVID-19 pandemia and COVID-19 is recognized for its immune dysregulation. Lower limbs involvement is uncommon but can be limb threatening, resulting in limb loss.
