Abstract

Surgical revascularization for patients with Buerger's disease is possible only in a few cases, due to the diffuse segmental involvement and the lack of distal runoff vessels available for bypass surgery. We encountered a case of resting pain in the right foot, coldness with dysesthesia, and cyanosis on the right 1st toe. The patient was treated with an endovascular intervention after vein patch angioplasty failed due to an inflammatory reaction of Buerger's disease. We suggest that an endovascular procedure can be an effective treatment, even in addition to more conservative and surgical management, in patients with Buerger's disease and critical limb ischemia.
