Abstract | Background: Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO, Buerger's disease) is an inflammatory and obstructive vasculopathy, which leads to limb ischemic rest pain and ulcerations in the acute stage. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of excimer laser-assisted balloon angioplasty (BA) for patients with acute infrapopliteal TAO. Method: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study. In this study, 220 patients with 210 target limbs between January 2012 and September 2021 were involved. Among them, 52 target limbs have received endovascular excimer laser-assisted balloon angioplasty from January 2017. The ankle brachial index (ABI), rest pain score, ulcer, Rutherford classification, and TASC II classification were assessed. The follow-up time was 6 months. Results: The technical success rate of laser + BA and BA groups was 71.15 and 65.82% ( Conclusion: Excimer laser debulking-assisted angioplasty is a feasible, effective, and safe method to treat acute infrapopliteal TAO. |
