Buerger's Disease (Thrombangiitis Obliterans)

Buerger's Disease (Thrombangiitis Obliterans) is a difficult disorder to diagnose that involves inflammation and clotting of arteries and veins of the hands and feet resulting in insufficient blood flow. The disease causes pain in the affected areas, and ulcerations and gangrene are common complications, often resulting in the need for amputation of the involved extremity.
