Thromboangiitis obliterans or Buerger’s disease is a rare nonatherosclerotic segmental inflammatory vasculitis that most commonly involves small and medium-sized arteries, veins, and nerves of the extremities, and generally affects young tobacco smokers. A 51-year-old man was found to have critical ischemia of his left hand, with necrosis of 3 fingers. He underwent extremely distal surgical revascularization using a cephalic vein bypass graft.
