Abstract:
Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) occurs almost exclusively in young male smokers. Its involvement of the small and medium-sized arteries and veins leads to ischemic complaints and/or changes in the extremities. The possibility of organ involvement is a matter of controversy. The authors report a case of TAO with multiple organ involvement, including myocardial, splenic, and cerebral infarctions; pulmonary embolisms; and probable intestinal ischemia during a twenty-three-year course.
