| Abstract |
|
A 27-year-old male was admitted with a three week history of pain and gangrenous changes of his first
to fourth right foot toes. Clinical, laboratory and angiographic findings were consistent with Buerger's
disease. The patient was treated by subintimal balloon angioplasty of the right anterior tibial artery. The
percutaneous subintimal angioplasty was successful, and the patient symptoms and the ankle brachial index
was improved. The value of subintimal angioplasty in limb-threatening ischemia in Buerger's disease, has not
been established but this case illustrates a role for subintimal angioplasty in acute ischemia.(Korean J Med
71:420-425, 2006)
Key Words : Subintimal Angioplasty, Buerger's disease, Critical limb ischemia |
