Buerger's Disease (Thromboangiitis obliterans) is an inflammatory disease of small - and medium - sized arteries and veins in the extremities. It is strongly associated with smoking. The description in the question about acute inflammatory changes in the artery wall extending into the perivascular sheath, involving the neurovascular bundle, and being common in young male heavy smokers matches Buerger's Disease.
Takayasu arteritis mainly affects the aorta and its major branches (e.g., subclavian arteries, carotid arteries) and is more common in young females.
Wegener's granulomatosis (now called Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis) typically affects the upper and lower respiratory tracts and the kidneys.
Polyarteritis nodosa affects medium - sized muscular arteries (e.g., renal, coronary, mesenteric arteries).
Berger's Disease (IgA nephropathy) is a kidney disease.
