Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is a nonnecrotizing vasculitis affecting small and medium-sized arteries, typically in young male smokers. The diagnosis can often be made on the basis of a careful history and physical examination, together with ancillary laboratory studies. Occasionally arteriography is warranted to confirm the diagnosis. The pathological findings are distinctive and distinguish this disorder from other arterial occlusive diseases. Successful therapy is possible only with absolute abstinence from tobacco.
血栓闭塞性脉管炎是一种非坏死性血管炎，主要累及中小动脉，常见于年轻男性吸烟者。通常根据详细的病史、体格检查以及辅助实验室检查来做出诊断。偶尔需要进行动脉造影以确诊。其病理表现具有特异性，可将该疾病与其他动脉闭塞性疾病区分开来。只有绝对戒烟才有可能实现成功治疗。
