A review of Buerger’s disease
Thrombus, Volume 9, Number 2.

Buerger’s disease was first described by the German physician, von Winiwarter1 in 1879, although it is named after Leo Buerger, Professor of urological surgery at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. In 19082 he published a detailed description of the disease and the pathological findings in 11 limbs amputated from young Jewish men. However, it was not until the late 1960s that the disease was universally accepted as a distinct clinical condition.
