Buerger's disease (also known as thromboangiitis obliterans) affects blood vessels in the body, most commonly in the arms and legs. Blood vessels swell, which can prevent blood flow, causing clots to form. This can lead to pain, tissue damage, and even gangrene (the death or decay of body tissues).
Buerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is a rare disease most often found in those who smoke. The blood vessels in their legs, arms, feet and hands get inflamed, making it hard for blood to travel through. Clots make the problem worse, leading to pain and damaged tissue.
Buerger's disease, which occurs almost exclusively in heavy smokers, is different from peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in that it is not caused by atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the arteries). The disease can cause pain in the hands and feet in response to exercise due to reduced blood-flow.
Raynaud's is a condition where the extremities of the hands and feet turn white when exposed to cold. A common sign in Buerger's is skin ulceration and gangrene of the fingers and toes.
Your doctor may perform a simple test called the Allen's test to check blood flow through the arteries carrying blood to your hands. In the Allen's test, you make a tight fist, which forces the blood out of your hand.
The exact cause of Buerger's disease is unknown. While tobacco use clearly plays a role in the development of Buerger's disease, it's not clear how it does so. It's thought that chemicals in tobacco may irritate the lining of your blood vessels, causing them to swell.
Systemic lupus erythematosis with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome: a mimic of Buerger's disease.
The exact relationship tobacco products have with Buerger's disease is not completely understood. Some scientists believe that Buerger's disease may be an autoimmune disorder. In some cases, trauma to the hands and feet may contribute to the disorder.
What is Buerger disease? Buerger disease is one of many types of vasculitis. This is inflammation of small and medium size blood vessels. Buerger disease causes a tightening, or a blockage, of the blood vessels in your feet and hands.
Thromboangiitis obliterans (also known as Buerger's disease, Buerger disease [English /bʌrɡər/; German /byrgər/], or presenile gangrene ) is a recurring progressive inflammation and thrombosis (clotting) of small and medium arteries and veins of the hands and feet.
This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 443.1 was previously used, I73.1 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
