-==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.
