Abstract
- Most of the peripheral arterial occlusive disease are known to develop in old age group and the most cases are atherosclerosis. Even Buerger's disease, Behcet's disease and Takayasu's disease, which occur relatively in younger age group than artherosclerotic arterial occlusive disease are very rare under the age of 20. Recently, we had experienced 2 cases of peripheral arterial occlusive disease in 18-year-old and 16-year-old young men. One case is diagnosed as Behcet's vasculitis involving iliac and popliteal artery and the other is seemed to be Buerger's disease involving distal femoral, posterior tibial and peroneal artery. Here, we report 2 cases with good results, which were treated with aggressive bypass surgery with review of the literature.
