  1. Periaortitis/periarteritis could be broadly classified into five types, and the most prevalent location was Type 2. Moreover, the infra-renal artery portion of the abdominal aorta was most frequently involved as seen in Types 1, 2, and 3, (> 80%), while the supra-renal artery portion of the abdominal aorta was largely spared
  2. IgG4 immunoglobulin G4
