What is Buerger’s disease?

Buerger’s disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) is a rare disease of the blood vessels in your arms, legs, fingers and toes. Inflammation in your blood vessels makes it hard for your blood to flow through them. Blood clots can form, which create obstacles inside your blood vessels. As a result, you can experience pain and damaged tissues starting in your fingers and toes and spreading to your legs and arms.
