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

• There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name].

  • [Finding 2]
  • [Finding 3]

OR

• There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
