    Author: Hoshino S, Nakayama K, Igari T, Honda K.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1983; 68(1):47-50. PubMed ID: 6853083.
    Abstract:
    Twenty cases of thromboangitis obliterans (21 limbs) and five cases of atherosclerosis obliterans (five limbs) were treated with omental transplantation. Angiographic findings in these patients showed poor distal run-off, and direct reconstructive surgery was not indicated. Follow-up studies were conducted for an average of five years and one month (3 mos to 9 yrs. and 8 mos.). The long-term follow-up of 19 cases with thromboangitis obliterans (TAO) (20 limbs) revealed excellent results in 62%, good results in 19% and poor results in 19%. The results of the five cases with atherosclerosis obliterans (ASO) (5 limbs) were good in 20% and poor in 80%. Long-term results of omental transplantation show it to be remarkably effective in treating TAO but not ASO.
