Abstract

Endovascular treatment in patient with Buerger’s disease (BD) may be technically challenging due to distal localization of arterial occlusions and the absence of recipient vessels. Acute limb ischemia in patients with BD is a critical situation, often resulting in amputation. A 47-year-old man diagnosed with BD had resting pain and necrosis on his toe. Angiography showed severe obstruction in the femoral and anterior tibia arteries and typically many collateral vessels showed a “corkscrew” appearance. The ankle brachial index (ABI) showed no pulse signal at the right ankle level. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was done at ATA to superficial femoral artery (SFA) lesions and stent was deployed at the SFA lesion. We waited about 4 weeks for limb salvage after PTA, and then debrided the demarcated tissue serially and applied CGPASTE (CGBIO Co., Seoul, South Korea) and NPWT for 2 weeks. The patient recovered completely without major amputation and no further complications were observed.
