The method of Ilizarov was used for the treatment of 94 patients with obliterative endarteritis (stage II-IV). The significant improvement of functional status of the patients has been achieved as well as the improvement of peripheral blood circulation. The rate of positive results in the long-term follow up period was 57-70%. The rate of improvement depended on the functional status of vascular system. The method of Ilizarov is indicated in patients without occlusion of iliac and femoral arteries, and the pressure index more than 0.6; the peak blood flow index more than 3.0.

Background: Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) or Buerger disease is a recurring progressive segmental vasculopathy that presents with inflammation and thrombosis of small and medium arteries and veins of the hands and feet. The exact cause remains unknown, with tobacco use (primarily smoking but also smokeless tobacco) being highly associated with the disease. The diagnosis is clinical and the lack of a diagnostic gold standard is a deterrent to diagnosing it in patients with atypical presentations.

Introduction: Aortitis is a well-recognized manifestation of the tertiary stage of syphilis.
Evidence Acquisition: Although often regarded as an unexpected diagnosis, actually new cases of cardiovascular syphilis continue to be reported. Presumably, Treponema pallidum invades the aortic wall and the inflammatory response progresses towards obliterative endarteritis and necrosis of the muscular and elastic fibers in the aortic media.

Radiation therapy (RT), external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), brachytherapy (BT), photon beam therapy (PBT), high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and cryotherapy are noninvasive treatment options for pelvic malignancies and prostate cancer. Though effective in treating cancer, urethral stricture disease is an underrecognized and poorly reported sequela of these treatment modalities. Studies estimate the incidence of stricture from BT to be 1.
