Out of the from angiological points of view most important inflammatory vascular diseases (obliterating endangiitis, giant cell arteriitis, Takayasu's disease) epidemiological data are compiled. Remarkable is the increasing part of female patients in endangiitis. Furthermore it is referred to the particular functional situation in these vascular diseases, which results from the localisation of a peripheral occlusion, insufficient formation of collaterals or disturbed rheology.
