From: Periodontitis impacts on thrombotic diseases: from clinical aspect to future therapeutic approaches
Representative periodontitis-related thrombotic diseases encountered in clinical practice. Arterial thrombotic diseases can be categorized as AS-related and nonAS-related, characterized by organ or tissue ischemia and necrosis. Stroke, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are most common AS-related arterial thrombotic diseases, while thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO), atrial fibrillation (AF) and arterial dissection-related thrombosis are the most prevalent nonAS-related thrombotic diseases. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), manifesting as edema, pain and circulatory instability. Autoimmune-related thrombotic disorders are relatively rare and can affect small vessels in both arterial and venous systems. Examples of such conditions include Behçet’s syndrome, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).
