[Inflammatory diseases of the vessels. Clinical aspects, immunopathology, characteristic features of therapy (author's transl)].
Arterial obstructive diseases become manifest principally in the great peripheral vessels, visceral symptoms are rare. In the overwhelming majority of inflammatory vascular processes changes in the small arteries are impressive, visceral symptoms are common, in many cases the rule, peripheral occlusive syndromes are exceptions, although possible, and then prognostically especially serious in the individual case. The diagnosis of such vascular processes can be extraordinarily difficult if there is systemic spread because of the great variety of symptoms, and in the individual case may be almost impossible. Principles of classification should contribute to the facilitation of necessary clinical differentiation and lead to the proper therapeutic indication of the fundamental process. But they should also serve for the understanding of those inflammatory vascular diseases whose special position is based on the new scientific knowledge of immunopathology.
