[Buerger's disease].
Diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies for Buerger's disease have been established recently. However, there are many unknown factors concerning its etiology and exacerbation. Further studies are necessary for the better understanding of these factors and it is important to establish therapeutic modalities matching the pathology. Although drug therapy is the basic approach to treatment of the disease, aggressive surgical treatment also can prove to be effective in many cases.
