Methods: Between April 2007 and January 2016, 20 patients (mean age 45\u00b18 years; 16 men) underwent endovascular therapy for TAO-related lesions in 25 consecutive limbs. Subjects exhibited a broad array of clinical symptoms, including critical limb ischemia (n=15) and claudication (10) in the lower (n=20) and upper (n=5) limbs. Results: Procedure success was achieved in 24 (96%) limbs (complete success in 16 and partial success in 8), all of which exhibited improvements of at least 1 grade of the Rutherford category. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that reintervention-free rates were 81.9% (95% CI 0.586 to 0.928) at 6 months and 71.7% at 10 months (95% CI 0.473 to 0.862). IVUS was performed in 20 limbs and revealed unique findings, including the \u201cbull\u2019s-eye\u201d appearance, \u201clotus-root\u201d appearance, and \u201cbunch of grapes\u201d appearance. During a mean follow-up of 26\u00b119 months, the limb salvage rate was 100% with no deaths. Conclusion: Contemporary endovascular therapy might be able to serve as a potential option for TAO patients with lower and upper limb symptoms. Liberal application of IVUS could help us understand the pathology of TAO to support endovascular therapy for TAO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1526602817710917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,26]],"date-time":"2017-07-26T09:16:25Z","timestamp":1501060585000},"page":"504-515","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Endovascular
