Özet

Background: Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is a non-arteriosclerotic segmental inflammatory occlusive vasculitis typically in the upper and lower extremities affecting small- and medium-sized arteries and veins. We present the treatment protocol for TAO involving the use of peripheral sympathetic block through an axillary catheter.
