Long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of major amputation in thromboangiitis obliterans after drug therapy and endovascular procedures: A real-world cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Data regarding the long-term outcomes of patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) after drug therapy (DT) alone and endovascular procedure (EP)+ drug therapy (DT) are limited. In this study, we compared the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors of major amputation in TAO patients treated with DT alone and those treated with EP+ DT.

Methods

Consecutive patients with TAO treated at Ganzhou People's Hospital between 2012 and 2022 were included in this real-world study. All patients were administered DT. Some patients were treated with EP in addition to DT. The patients were classified into two groups: the DT group and the EP+ DT group. Long-term follow-up was sustained for all patients after treatment, and limb events were documented throughout the follow-u
