Overview
Color duplex ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Buerger's disease. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Buerger's disease include corkscrew collaterals. Echocardiography may be helpful in detecting the source of thromboembolism and therefore, exclude Buerger's disease.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- Color duplex ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Buerger's disease.[1][2]
- Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Buerger's disease include corkscrew collaterals.
- Echocardiography (transthoracic or transesophageal) may be helpful in detecting the source of thromboembolism and therefore, exclude Buerger's disease.
