Short-term efficacy of endovascular procedures for lower extremity thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease).
Although thrombolysis obliterans (TAO) has been recognized for more than a century, there is no optimal treatment for this disease. The aim of this report was to compare the short-term efficacies of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and CDT+PTA in treating TAO disease. ⋯ Endovascular procedures are effective for TAO in the short term. The effectiveness of CDT alone is suboptimal; combining CDT with PTA achieves the most favorable endovascular treatment outcome; while the effectiveness of PTA falls in between these two procedures.
