Thromboangiitis obliterans typically affects the medium‐ and small‐sized extremity vessels, making arterial revascularization difficult. However, in this study involving 83 patients with thromboangiitis obliterans who underwent angiography, 79.5% of patients had at least one or more target artery feasible for revascularization. The patients who underwent revascularization had a patency rate of 64.8% and limb salvage rate of 80.9%.
