**3. Conclusions**

Takayasu arteritis continues to be a diagnostic challenge, mostly on the first-line of care, because other pathologies show similar clinical and laboratory findings and there is not a golden standard to diagnose it. In addition, the signs and symptoms are not usually the same in all patients, and it could even be an underdiagnosed disease.

On the other hand, treatment options for TA is an area in which progress has been shown in recent years. However, these options are not yet considered to be accessible to all patients.

This disease still has a field of study in terms of its pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
