Overview
Arteriography is the best imaging study to diagnosis of PAN. Findings on an arteriography diagnostic of PAN include microaneurysm, saccular aneurysm and tortuous vessels showing irregular lumina, segmental luminal narrowing or dilatation, infarctions, vascular irregularity and segmental occlusions.
