摘要:
Thromboangiitis obliterans (also known as Buerger's disease) is an inflammatory vascular disorder that affects small and medium-sized arteries and veins in the extremities. There is no specific treatment and the only effective intervention is absolute cessation of tobacco use. Endothelial dysfunction appears to be of relevance to this condition and a report has even found that high serum levels of endothelin correlate with the presence of necrosis. We report two cases of digital necrosis showing a very satisfactory response to treatment with bosentan, a dual endothelin receptor antagonist.
