risk factor strongly linked to cigarette smoking
thromboangitis obliterans (Buerger's
disease)
Peripheral arterial disease can cause Aorta, iliac artery, femoral-popliteal artery and
occlusion of all the following vessels arteries of the lower extremities.
Wegener's granulomatosis The majority of individuals are adults
It primarily affects the lungs and kidneys
Primary Raynaud's phenomenon Usually in younger women, has a hereditary part that
causes an exaggerated vasomotor response with
vasoconstriction. Digits go white in cold, can turn
blue and go numb. When warmed they turn red and
experience pain
Secondary Raynaud's phenomenon - secondary to a connective tissue disease like
scleroderma (SSc) and has a positive ANA screen
- associated with digital vasospasm, ischemia, digital
pitting scars, ulcers, and tissue damage
four basic categories of thoracic Ascending thoracic aneurysms, Aortic arch aneurysm,
aneurysms descending aortic aneurysm and thoracoabdominal
aneurysm
Arteritis -Large Vessel Vasculidites Giant cell arteritis is characterized by inflammatory
changes in one of the branches of the
aorta,occurring almost exclusively in people over
age 50.

Components: leaves the Heart 2.Venous: transports deoxygenated
blood back to the heart & lungs. 3. Lymphatic: is a
separate vessel system responsible for carrying fluid

arrangement within vessel walls.
Vessels beyond a certain lumen
diameter generally consist of three
defined layers:
intima is a single layer of endothelial cells on the innermost
section of the vessel
wall.
Media refers to the middle section of the vessel wall and
consists of smooth muscle cells
surrounded by collagen and elastic tissue.
Adventitia outermost covering of the vessel wall, consists of a
mixture of collagen,
elastic tissue, smooth muscle, nerve fibers,
vasovasorum and lymphatic vessels that
accommodate lymphatic flow to nourish and remove
metabolic waste products from the
vessel wall.
