Endovasculitis

Endovasculitis: causes, symptoms and treatment methods

Endovasculitis is an inflammation of the inner layer of the vascular wall, which can occur in any blood vessels of the body. This type of inflammation can be caused by various reasons such as infections, autoimmune diseases, injuries and other factors.

The causes of endovasculitis can be different. For example, infections can cause inflammation of blood vessels. Some types of bacteria, such as staphylococci and streptococci, can infect blood vessels and cause endovasculitis. Viruses such as hepatitis B and C can also cause vascular inflammation.

Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus can also cause endovasculitis. In these diseases, the body's immune system is directed against its own body tissues, including the vascular wall.

Symptoms of endovasculitis can vary depending on which vessels are affected and how severe the inflammation is. Common symptoms may include fever, fatigue, joint pain, and weight loss. In case of damage to the blood vessels of the heart or brain, chest pain, short-term loss of consciousness, dizziness, and visual impairment may occur.

Various methods are used to treat endovasculitis, depending on the cause and severity of the disease. If the cause is an infection, antibiotics are usually used. For autoimmune diseases, medications that reduce the activity of the immune system may be used. In some cases, surgery may be required.

Overall, endovasculitis is a serious disease that can lead to serious consequences. If symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Endovascular syndrome is a terminal complication based on the inflammatory reaction to a planned embolic event. This pathology is characterized by various serious consequences, including heart failure or thromboembolic stroke. Most often it occurs during embolization of tumor vessels, has a long-term recurrent course and reduces the patient’s quality of life.
