title: Successful repair for a ruptured venous aneurysm: an unusual complication of venous arterialization in Buerger's disease.
abstract: We report a ruptured venous aneurysm, an unusual complication of venous arterialization for lower limb ischemia in Buerger's disease. Arteriovenous shunt ligation and aneurysm resection were performed successfully, with the distal limb perfusion preserved. By our very limited experience, venous arterialization may be ineffective on improving lower limb ischemia with Buerger's disease.
