This study was aimed to report data on the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of endovascular procedures in a thromboangiitis obliterans diagnosed patients presenting with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Prospective study conducted on patients affected by Buerger's disease who presented to our center along 2 years. Clinical, radiological, and patient-based outcomes were recorded at 3, 6, and 12 months after the intervention. Total 39 patients were included in the study. Fifteen (38.5%) patients underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, another 15 patients (38.5%) underwent follow-up on medical treatment, there are four other patients (10.3%) underwent surgical bypass, and five (12.8%) patients underwent lumbar sympathectomy. The 12 months' outcome showed 66.7% technical success in endovascular group with 46.7% patency rate (p-value = 0.06), 86.7% limb salvage rate (LSR; p-value < 0.04), and 66.7% clinical improvement (p-value = 0.005). The endovascular management of Buerger's disease is feasible, save, and effective with high rate of LSR and clinical improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
