    Author: Núñez Garcia A, López Cubero L, Rico Zalba L, Molíns Otero A, Gómez Octavio J, Arribas A.
    Journal: Angiology; 1998 Jun; 49(6):489-92. PubMed ID: 9631896.
    Abstract:
    Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) or Buerger's disease is a nonatherosclerotic vascular disease of unknown etiology that occurs almost exclusively in young male tobacco users. The involvement of the medium-sized and small arteries and veins leads to ischemic complaints and trophic changes in the limbs. The authors report a case of Buerger's disease in a 29-year-old man, a heavy smoker, affecting the lower limbs and mesenteric vessels.
