Diseases of arterias

D. Inflammatory Disease – Arteritides, Vasculitides Infectious Vasculitides: bacterial- Neisserial, Rickettsial, Spirochetal, fungal, viral, Non-Infectious Vasculitides: so-called systemic necrotizing vasculitides (affecting aorta, medium-sized vessels) and small vessel vasculitides (affecting arterioles, venules and capillaries). Pathogenesis involves immune compexes, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and antibodies to endothelial cells. Classification on the basis of the size of the involved blood vessels, the anatomic site, clinical manifestation and histological characteristics of the lesion:

Age 50 years polymyalgia rheumatica.Takayasu arteritis (pulseless disease): Granulomatous inflammation of the aorta and its major branches. Usually accurs in patients younger than 50 years.

Note that part of the vessel wall at the upper right (arrow) is uninvolved. In leukocytoclastic vasculitis (B), shown here from a skin biopsy, there is fragmentation of neutrophils in and around blood vessel walls. In Wegener granulomatosis (C), there is inflammation (vasculitis) of a small artery along with adjacent granulomatous inflammation, in which epithelioid cells and giant cells (arrows) are seen. D, Gross photo from the lung of a patient with fatal Wegener granulomatosis, demonstrating large nodular lesions. In a typical case of Buerger disease (E), the

lumen is occluded by a thrombus containing two abscesses (arrow). The vessel wall is infiltrated with leukocytes.

Diseases of arterias

D. Inflammatory Disease – Arteritides, Vasculitides Medium-Sized Vessel Vasculitis

Kawasaki disease: Arteritis associated with mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome. Coronary arteries are often involved. Aorta and veins may be involved. Usually occurs in children.

Thromoangitis obliterans (Buerger disease): Segmental, thrombosing acute and chronic inflammation of medium-sized and small arteries, principally the tibial artery in younger men who were heavy smokers.

Wegener granulomatosis: Granulomatous inflammation involving the respiratory tract and necrotizing vasculitis affecting capillaries, venules, arterioles and arteries. Necrotizing glomerulonephritis is common.Churg-Strauss syndrome: Eosinophil-rich and granulomatous inflammation involving the respiratory tract and necrotizing vasculitis affecting small and medium-sized vessels associated with asthma and blood eosinophilia.Microscopic polyangiitis: Necrotizing vasculitis with few or no immune deposits affecting small and medium-sized vessels. Necrotizing glomerulonephritis is common. Pulmonary capillaritis often occurs. Henoch-Schönlein purpura: Vasculitis with IgA-dominant immune deposits affecting small vessels.

Paroxysmal pallor or cyanosis of the digits of the hands or feet and infrequently the tips of the nose or ears (acral parts) caused by intense vasospasm of local small arteries or arterioles. Typically in young, otherwise healthy women. No organic changes are present in the arterial walls except late, when intimal proliferation can appear.
