This inflammation may involve the smaller blood vessels such as veins and capillaries. Arteries take the blood that is pumped from the heart to the organs throughout the body. These arteries can also be affected in vasculitis.\u00a0<\/p><p>Vasculitis leads to swelling of the blood vessel walls which can narrow the blood vessel and reduce the blood flow through them or cause complete blockage of blood flow due to the amount of swelling or formation of a blood clot. The body tissue that these blood vessels travel through may then be deprived of blood flow and die.
