In the early months or years, no organic change occurs in the affected blood vessels. However, in severe cases the vessel walls may eventually get thicker and the flow of blood may be permanently reduced. Arteries may block off altogether because of blood clotting (thrombosis), which can lead to tissue death (gangrene) at the tips of the affected fingers or toes.
