Buerger's disease is diagnosed mostly clinically, however, in cases where diagnosis is indefinite and the extent of disease is unknown, a catheter-based arteriogram may be helpful in the diagnosis of Buerger's disease. Findings on a catheter-based arteriogram suggestive of Buerger's disease include the absence of atherosclerosis, lack of a source for thromboembolism, small and medium-sized vessel involvement, segmental affection of vessels between normal appearing segments, and corkscrew collaterals described as collateralizations around an occlusion area, however, this finding is not pathognomonic.
