Kim, Lee, Youk, Choi, Park, Hong, Doo, Han, Oh, Ryu, Rim, Lee, and Lee: Buerger's Disease in Female Habitual Smoker with Involvement of the Right Hand

Abstract

Buerger's disease is characterized by medium to small sized peripheral arterial occlusions in young male cigarette smokers. It is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of vascular disease in women, although there have been several well-documented cases in the literature. This report presents a middle aged female habitual smoker with angiographic evidence for Buerger's disease of her right hand.
