Immunobiologic analysis of arterial tissue in Buerger's disease.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: the cause of thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) still remains unknown. We have reported that immunologic injury associated with T lymphocytes infiltration might be the initial etiologic mechanism in TAO. The present study was undertaken to examine further the mechanism of immune injury. METHODS: arterial walls affected by TAO were obtained from eight patients with eight non-pulsatile arteries and one...
