-There is a recurrent acute and chronic [[inflammation]] and [[thrombosis]] of [[artery|arteries]] and [[vein]]s of the hands and feet. The main symptom is [[Pain and nociception|pain]] in the affected areas. [[Ulceration]]s and [[gangrene]] in the extremities are common [[Complication (medicine)|complication]]s, often resulting in the need for [[amputation]] of the involved extremity.

 ==Diagnosis==
-A concrete diagnosis of thromboangiitis obliterans is often difficult as it relies heavily on exclusion of the conditions. The commonly followed diagnostic criteria are below although the criteria tend to differ slightly from author to author. Olin (2000) proposes the following criteria:<ref>Olin JW. ''Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease).'' N Engl J Med 2000;343:864-9. PMID 10995867.</ref>

-# Age younger than 45 years
-# Current (or recent) history of tobacco use
-# Presence of distal extremity ischemia (indicated by claudication, pain at rest, ischemic ulcers or gangrene) documented by noninvasive vascular testing such as ultrasound
-# Exclusion of autoimmune diseases, hypercoagulable states, and diabetes mellitus by laboratory tests.
-# Exclusion of a proximal source of emboli by echocardiography and arteriography
-# Consistent arteriographic findings in the clinically involved and noninvolved limbs.

-==Pathophysiology==
-There are characteristic [[pathology|pathologic]] findings of acute [[inflammation]] and [[thrombosis]] (clotting) of [[artery|arteries]] and [[vein]]s of the hands and feet (the lower limbs being more common). The mechanisms underlying Buerger's disease are still largely unknown. It is suspected that [[immunology|immunological]] reactions play a role.
 ==Treatment==
-Symptoms are treated as there is no treatment for the disease. Cessation of tobacco use may slow any further progression of the disease.  [[Vascular surgery]] can sometimes be helpful in treating limbs with poor perfusion secondary to this disease.  Use of vascular growth factor and stem cell injections have been showing promise in clinical studies.

-==Prognosis==
-Amputation is common and more severe in patients who continue to use tobacco. It often leads to vascular insufficiency.  Buerger's is rarely immediately fatal, but rather a life shortening disease.
-==Prevention==
-The cause of the disease is unknown but heavily linked to tobacco use.  There have also been links to persons with digestive disorders.
