Overview

Treatment

Symptoms are treated as there is no treatment for the disease. Cessation of tobacco use may slow any further progression of the disease. Vascular surgery can sometimes be helpful in treating limbs with poor perfusion secondary to this disease. Use of vascular growth factor and stem cell injections have been showing promise in clinical studies.
