Abstract: Buerger’s disease, also known as thromboang iitisobliterans(TAO), is a thrombotic, occlusive, segmental vasculitis of small and medium-sized arteries and veins, which may involve both upper and lower exremities. The onset usually occursin people of around the age of 45, and is more frequent in male smokers. The etiology forTAO is unknown?. A large number of studies show that smoking and TAO has an extremely close relationship.With progress of the disease, There will be rest pain and ulce of foot and other parts of toes. Many scholars still think it is a kind of refractory disease. Revascularisation by means of a by-pass surgery or endovascular procedure is usually not possible as a consequence of the predominantly diffuse and distallocation of the lesions in the veins and arteries involved.Relying on drug therapy to improve blood circulation effect is not obvious. At present, the methods in the treatment is also constantly progress, the treatment effect is more improved. With the development of medical technology, especially the interventional operation, stem cell transplantation, Ilizarov technology application and the new effective drugs, the patients with TAO have got a new hope.
