a digit or extremity, digital ischemia, RP, distal digital ulceration, and extremity claudication. As TAO progresses, it involves more proximal portions of the extrem­ity, the most dreaded consequence being extremity gangrene and amputation. Cocaine, amphetamine, and cannabis use can present with features mimicking TAO.
The pathogenesis of TAO is largely unknown. In the early stages of disease, there is increased expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, and E-selectin on endothelial cell membranes. This may lead to activa­tion of the innate immune response and later to a highly cellular intraluminal throm­bus. Other purported mechanisms include delayed type hypersensitivity or toxic angiitis induced by smoking, aberrant Notch signal activation, endothelial dysfunc­tion, anti-endothelial antibodies, impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation, abnormalities in endothelin, prothrombotic factors, and proinammatory cytokines [44]. The diagnosis of TAO is clinical, with imaging to exclude other causes of digi­tal ischemia such as large vessel occlusion and proximal sources of emboli. Commonly more than two extremities are involved, and subclinical disease should be sought. Markers of inammation and autoantibodies are usually absent, and imaging demonstrates normal inow arteries. While CTA and MRA may be helpful in excluding atherosclerosis, diagnostic arteriography is often needed to demon­strate the distal involvement of arteries. A typical presentation is that of segmental arterial occlusion and corkscrew collaterals (Martorell’s sign).
Distinguishing features from atherosclerosis include disease distribution and involvement of both upper and lower extremities, supercial venous thrombosis, and greater severity of pain. Biopsy, usually reserved for atypical cases, demon­strates a highly cellular thrombus with relative sparing of the vessel walls [43].
The evolution of TAO is often categorized into three stages. In the acute phase, inammation affecting the small-calibre and medium-calibre (1- to 5-mm diameter) arteries and veins is observed. The primary features of TAO during the acute phase include an occlusive, highly cellular arterial thrombus, polymorphonuclear cell inltrate with leukocytoclasis, giant cells, and microabscess formation; marked inammation of the entire vessel wall and neurovascular bundle. Multinucleated giant cells can be seen, but brinoid necrosis and granuloma are not observed. Although the external elastic lamina may show some disruption the internal elastic lamina remains intact. During the intermediate or subacute phase, there is progres­sive organization of the occlusive thrombus, with partial recanalization and disap­pearance of the microabscesses. A prominent inammatory inltrate is still present within the thrombus but is less in the vessel wall. Immunoglobulin and complement are deposited along the inner aspect of the internal elastic lamina. The chronic phase or end-stage lesion is characterized by thrombus organization followed by recanali­zation, prominent vascularization of the media, and perivascular brosis. Regardless of the pathologic stage, the internal elastic lamina and the architecture of the vascu­lar walls are well preserved in TAO, in contrast to atherosclerosis and systemic vasculitis, and inammatory cell inltration is found predominantly in the intimal layer and the thrombus [
45].
The cornerstone of treatment of TAO is complete abstinence from tobacco. Although high level evidence is lacking, intravenous prostacyclin analogues have

been shown to improve ulcer healing and pain, and the endothelin-1 receptor antag­onist bosentan reduced new ischaemic lesions [46]. Distal surgical revascularisation may prevent the need for amputations and improve quality of life, however revascu­larisation is often technically not feasible because of diffuse, segmental arterial involvement and the distal nature of the disease. Distal arterial spasm during dissec­tion and poor-quality veins owing to phlebitis are other disease-specic handicaps [43]. Recent evidence suggests that endovascular treatment is a valid strategy lead­ing to an acceptable limb salvage rate for TAO patients, and surgical bypass to distal target vessels could play a role in cases of previous failed endovascular treatment or extensive soft tissue loss of the foot [47].

16.10 Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD)
FMD is a noninammatory, non-atherosclerotic arterial disease of unknown aeti­ology in which there is distorted architecture and abnormal proliferation of the arterial wall of medium- or small-sized arteries. Over 80% of affected individu­als are women and the mean age at the time diagnosis is 52years. The true preva­lence of FMD is unknown; however an incidence of 3–4% was found in a series of potential renal donors who underwent CT Angiography. FMD has tradition­ally been divided histopathologically into several types according to which arte­rial layer is affected and to the arteriographic pattern of disease. Medial broplasia was the most common type, comprising 80–90% of cases in the renal arteries. However, the recent First International Consensus on the diagnosis and management of bromuscular dysplasia [48] stated that in the contemporary endovascular era, where tissue was rarely obtained for histopathological exami­nation, FMD should be classied into two types on the basis of angiographic appearance: (a) focal FMD (approximately 30% of cases) or (b) multifocal FMD (which is characterised by areas of stenosis and dilatation- the “string of beads” appearance). FMD is characterized by intra- arterial brotic “webs” that give rise to a “beaded” appearance on imaging studies where the beads are larger than the lumen of the artery.
FMD may affect any major arterial bed and clinical manifestations depend on its distribution. Hypertension, a result of renal artery involvement, remains the most important clinical consequence of FMD.In some patients, the condition remains asymptomatic and incidentally discovered when imaging is performed for other reasons, while in others it may present with arterial dissection, tortuosity, aneurysm formation and/or end organ ischemia. In one series, renal arteries were affected in 75% and the extracranial carotid arteries in 70% of patients with FMD.Intracranial aneurysms have been reported in over 10% of cases in the United States FMD reg­istry. Aneurysms and/or dissection were present in about 40% of patients in the US and European registries [49, 50]. FMD may affect the mesenteric, iliac, femoral or popliteal arteries and result in visceral aneurysm formation or dissection, intermit­tent claudication or (rarely) critical limb ischemia.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is the cause of 10–25% of cases of acute myocardial infarction in women under 50years of age and 50% of AMIs occurring in the post-partum period. There is a signicant association of FMD with SCAD, and thus the International Consensus recommended “imaging of all vessels from brain to pelvis, at least once” in patients who have had SCAD [48].
In contemporary FMD registries, only 2–7% of patients report an affected rela­tive. There are currently no genetic tests that are specic for FMD.Current and past smoking is associated with FMD.There may be a role for TGF-beta pathways in the pathogenesis of the disease.
The diagnosis of FMD usually relies on a combination of clinical and imaging ndings. CTA is the investigation of choice for assessment for renal and carotid/ vertebral FMD.MRA can be used if CT is contraindicated. Ultrasound in highly expert hands can be used as a diagnostic test for investigation of renal FMD.However, duplex scanning is of limited use in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular FMD, due to the inability to image high cervical internal carotid lesions, vertebral and intracere­bral lesions. Angiography, with pressure gradient measurements across lesion(s), is recommended when intervention for renal artery lesions is indicated.

16.11 Summary
Much progress has been made in recent years in understanding pathogenetic mecha­nisms underlying the broad range of diseases we call vasculitis. The classication is ever evolving as new discoveries are made. The advent of biologic therapy and establishment of clinical trial consortia to enable randomised, double blind, con­trolled clinical trials in these rare diseases has led to major treatment advances resulting in reduced morbidity and mortality. Basic science research has enabled treatable causes such as viruses and genetic defects to be discovered to enable cures in many cases of diseases which were once uniformly fatal. New challenges in this area are the ability to identify, treat and monitor patients with IgG4-related disease more effectively, identify strategies to prevent or safely treat irAEs caused by cancer immunotherapy without disrupting the anti-tumour effects, increase support for research registries and sample repositories to promote basic research as well as col­laborative clinical research for these rare diseases, and improve access to ground­breaking but expensive biologic therapies. Recognition that rather than a monophasic illness, GCA is a chronic disorder with only a minority of patients achieving long­term remission, has thrown down the gauntlet for deeper understanding of its patho­genesis to discover new therapeutic targets. Finally, given that immune mechanisms are involved in vasculitis mimics with or without an identiable trigger, such as TAO, further research may identify treatment targets for disease amelioration. Application of big data bioinformatic methodology incorporating genomic, epigen­etic, transcriptomic and metabolomic data, holds promise to advance our under­standing of the pathogenesis and management of vasculitis.

Sepsis andSeptic Shock
BenjaminReddi
Key Learning Points
Sepsis is dened as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated
host response to infection
• Sepsis is common and associated with high mortality
• Sepsis involves activation of both inammatory and anti-inammatory pathways
promoting broad-ranging dysregulation of cardiovascular, coagulation, neuronal,
bioenergetic, endocrine and other systems
Early source control plus rational, timely antibiotic selection are crucial to maxi-
mise survival
• Management of circulatory shock is complex, therapy should be titrated and
responsive to individual patient parameters
17.1 Introduction andDenitions
Sepsis is the primary cause of death from infection. It has been traditionally concep­tualised as an excessive host inammatory response provoked by infection and until recently sepsis was dened as the development of two or more systemic inamma­tory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria (Box 17.1) as a consequence of infection, and severe sepsis as sepsis complicated by organ dysfunction [1]. Sepsis and severe sepsis were considered increasingly perilous stages of a pathobiologic natural his­tory culminating in septic shock ‘sepsis-induced hypotension persisting despite adequate uid resuscitation’ and death.

Recently this paradigm has been challenged. Not only is sepsis now recognised to involve activation of both inammatory and anti-inammatory pathways but, in addition, broad-ranging dysregulation of cardiovascular, coagulation, neuronal, bio­energetic, endocrine and other systems. These manifestations are not captured by a simple inammation-based denition and, not surprisingly, the SIRS-based deni­tion shows poor divergent and convergent validity in identifying patients at risk of poor outcome [2, 3].
Improved understanding of the pathobiology of sepsis is recognised in the devel­opment of the Third International Consensus Denitions for Sepsis and Septic Shock (SEPSIS-3) which recommend that sepsis be dened as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection [4]. Organ dysfunction is dened as an increase in the Sequential [Sepsis-related] Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 2 points or more (Table17.1) [5] and ‘infec­tion’ as the invasion of sterile tissue by organisms resulting in infectious pathology. Thus dened, sepsis is associated with an in-hospital mortality >10%. Septic shock is dened as a subset of sepsis in which underlying circulatory and cellular/meta­bolic abnormalities are profound enough to substantially increase mortality. Patients

with septic shock can be identied with a clinical construct of sepsis with persisting hypotension requiring vasopressors to maintain MAP 65 mmHg and having a serum lactate level >2mmol/L despite adequate volume resuscitation. With these criteria, hospital mortality is in excess of 40% [4]. Although the SEPSIS-3 deni­tion better discriminates those patients with presumed infection at high risk of poor outcome, there remain challenges. No simple and unambiguous clinical criteria or biological, imaging, or laboratory features uniquely identify a septic patient and it is not clear how a clinician identies a ‘dysregulated host response’ at the bedside. Furthermore, commonly no causative organism is identied and the diagnosis of infection, and thus sepsis, remains presumed. Nevertheless, the new denition uti­lises objective, easily obtained variables, reects the complex pathobiology of sep­sis and identies a population of patients with infection at high risk of death. It is widely accepted as the basis for sepsis research and quality assurance.

17.2 Epidemiology
A recent meta-analysis found a population incidence rate of around 288/100,000- person years for hospital treated sepsis. Poor representation of low and middle-income countries in the published data notwithstanding, the authors extrap­olate global estimates of 31.5 million cases of sepsis perannum with 5.3 million attributable deaths [6]. Data from the USA indicate that the incidence of septic shock has been increasing over the last decade and as many as 50% of patients hos­pitalised with septic shock die [7] with survivors frequently suffering marked long­term cognitive decline and functional impairment [8]. Patients frequently require intensive care unit (ICU) management making this condition a signicant nan­cial burden.
Risk factors for developing sepsis include extremes of age (<2 or >55years), concurrent chronic and serious illness (such as cancer, diabetes), impaired immu­nity (including breach of natural barriers: burns, indwelling lines, surgical wounds etc.) and protein calorie malnutrition.
17.3 Aetiology
A causative organism may only be identied in as few as 50% of patients with sep­sis [9]. Likely organisms vary according to the primary site of infection, mode and location of acquisition, immune and vaccination status of the host and local micro­bial ecology. Hence, a reasoned history often suggests likely culprits and antimicro­bials can be tailored accordingly.
Accurate contemporary, global information regarding primary sites of infection and causative agents for sepsis are lacking. A recent study enrolling over 3000 patients with septic shock from Europe, Australasia and Saudi Arabia identied the
