Thromboangiitis Obliterans treatment in León

Thromboangiitis obliterans, also known as Buerger disease, is a condition in which the small and medium-sized blood vessels of the hands and feet become inflamed and blocked, and it is closely associated with smoking.

Common symptoms: pain in the legs or arms when moving, a feeling of cold, color changes in the fingers or toes, and, in advanced cases, wounds that are slow to heal.

Key factor: tobacco use is strongly linked to its onset and progression.

Which specialist treats it? The angiologist and the vascular surgeon are the ones who evaluate blood vessel diseases and follow up on these conditions. If pain, color changes, or wounds that do not heal appear in the extremities, a timely professional evaluation is advisable.
