    Author: Aqel MB, Olin JW.
    Journal: Vasc Med; 1997; 2(1):61-6. PubMed ID: 9546950.
    Abstract:
    Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is a nonatherosclerotic segmental inflammatory obliterative disease that most commonly affects the small- and medium-sized arteries and veins in both upper and lower extremities. In the past, TAO was exclusively a disease confined to men; however, recently more women have been diagnosed with TAO. Most patients are heavy users of tobacco, and usually cigarette smokers.
