Although clinical examination is sufficient for diagnosis, in cases where diagnosis is not definitive, a catheter-based arteriogram is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of Buerger disease. The following result of catheter-based arteriogram is confirmatory of Buerger disease and includes, absence of atherosclerosis, no cause for thromboembolism, small and medium-sized vessels involved, namely tibial, popliteal, and radial arteries, segmental affection of vessels between normal appearing segments and corkscrew collaterals described as collateralizations around an occlusion area but are not pathognomonic.
