Abstract:
A rare case of thromboangiitis obliterans is reported, with involvement of the left brachial and axillary artery and signs of median-nerve denervation in a 42-year-old woman following long affection of the right popliteal artery. Arterial reconstruction of the upper extremity was beneficial when the patient stopped smoking. The histologic changes distinguished the condition from atherosclerosis.
