Article Synopsis
- Thromboangiitis Obliterans (TAO) is a disease affecting small and medium-sized arteries, and a national registry is being established to better understand its nature and progression.
- A cohort study analyzed 242 patients with suspected TAO, confirming 91 cases, predominantly in males with a mean age of 35 years, revealing paresthesia as the most common initial symptom.
- Findings suggest that patients may have mild symptoms for years before severe complications arise, indicating a need to revise diagnostic criteria to address underlying atherosclerosis and improve treatment strategies.
Objective: Thromboangiitis obliterans is a nonatherosclerotic occlusive disease, affecting small to moderate sized arteries of the upper and lower extremities, leading to progressive inflammation and clot formation. However, the role of humoral and cell-mediated immunity in the development of this disease has not been clearly identified. The present study was intended to investigate the humoral and cellular immune response in patients with Buerger's disease with different disease severity.
