Thromboangitis Obliterans is a slow progressive and segmental inflammatory disease involving arteries and veins. Because of the inflammation in the full layer of arteries, endangium hyperliferation and thrombus formation occur; the vessels are obstructed causing insufficient blood supply in the limbs, finally resulting in gangrene of the limbs. The clinic manifestations are cold in affected limbs, local pain, claudication, and weakness or disappearance of pulse on arteries, even ulcers and gangrene on the tip of limbs.
