Thromboangitis obliteransis (TAO) is a nonatherosclerotic, inflammatory, occlusive arteritis that affects small and medium-sized arteries, veins and nerves. A large proportion of patients with TAO suffer from claudication, and the ultimate condition is gangrene and limb loss if there is no treatment or the cessation of smoking. Endovascular revascularisations are performed frequently and provide acceptable results in patients who are not suitable for surgery. In this study, we aimed to show our clinical experience in patients with TAO who were treated with endovascular revascularisation.
