Vasculitis can usually be registered in vascular surgery, peripheral vascular department or general surgery, when the condition is serious and the outpatient clinic is not open, you can choose to go to the emergency room.
Vasculitis, or thromboembolic vasculitis, is a vasculitic, recurrent, segmental occlusive disease that mostly involves small and medium-sized arteries and veins of the extremities, with the lower extremities being more commonly involved. Inflammation of the vessel wall and thromboembolism of the lumen can lead to ischemia of the extremities, pallor and coldness, pain, ischemic ulcers, and gangrene.
Vasculitis may require surgical intervention to re-establish blood flow channels, and vascular surgery and peripheral vascular medicine are the best departments to consult. Vascular Surgery is a specialty within General Surgery. Some hospitals do not have a sub-specialty of Vascular Surgery, so you can go to General Surgery.
If the patient is in severe pain, severe ischemia, or if the clinic is not open on holidays, the patient can go to the emergency room. The emergency department will transfer the patient to the vascular surgery department for further treatment or contact the vascular surgery department for consultation after emergency treatment.
It is recommended that patients with vasculitis should consult the doctor in time, follow the doctor’s instructions, pay more attention to preventing and treating the progression of the disease, and undergo regular checkups.
