Tromboangiite obliterante (TAO), ou doença de Buerger, é uma condição inflamatória oclusiva segmentar de artérias e veias, com trombose e recanalização dos vasos afetados. É uma doença inflamatória não aterosclerótica que afeta artérias e veias de pequeno e médio calibre das extremidades superiores e inferiores. A TAO pode ser distinguida de outros tipos de vasculite com base em sua tendência de ocorrer em indivíduos jovens do sexo masculino. A etiologia e patogênese da TAO permanece desconhecida; no entanto, o consumo de tabaco desempenha um papel fundamental no início e na persistência da doença. | |||
