BACKGROUND
We observed two cases of juvenile endarteritis which might suggest a possible link between Winiwarter-Buerger disease and cannabis-induced endarteritis.
METHODS
Our two patients were young men aged 18 and 20 years. Both developed acute distal ischemia of the lower or upper limbs with
BACKGROUND
Since the end of the nineteen-nineties, cannabis is not only incriminated in the onset of thromboangiitis obliterans but also in inducing artheromatous lesions in young subjects.
METHODS
A young, Caucasian, 18 year-old man was referred for cannabis withdrawal in the treatment of arteritis
BACKGROUND
Cannabis implication in the pathophysiology of distal arteritis remains controversial. The aim is to assess whether cannabis co-exposure influences presentation and outcome of thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) in tobacco smokers.
METHODS
All consecutive patients presenting with a definite
BACKGROUND
Proper management of patients with thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) or cannabis-associated arteritis (CAA), presenting with critical lower limb ischaemia (CLI) remains controversial, and data are limited.
METHODS
Patients with TAO or CAA presenting with CLI between 2011 and 2016 were
The marijuana arteriopathy should be considered in young patients with peripheral arterial disease with no risk factors for atherosclerosis. It was described for the first time in 1960 and since then there have been about 100 cases published in the literature. Although it tends to be considered as
Consumption of cannabis in young adults has continued to increase in recent years. Cannabis arteritis was first described in the 1960s, but the number of cases has continued to increase. We reviewed current knowledge of the different types of cannabis arteritis in young adults and found 70 cases of
The causal effect of cannabis, associated or not with smoking, in juvenile thromboangiitis disorders such as Leo Buerger disease, has been suggested. We describe here a case of a 30-year-old woman who smoked cannabis and developed intermittent claudication of the lower limbs. Female sex and proximal
BACKGROUND
To investigate the hypothesis that cases of arteritis similar to thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) and associated with the use of cannabis were caused by cannabis or THC (dronabinol), or that cannabis use is a co-factor of TAO.
METHODS
A systematic review on case reports and the literature
Cannabis arteritis manifests in cannabis users, independently of tobacco consumption. Around 50 cases were reported in the literature since the first description of this entity in 1960. We report the case of a 36-year-old man, cannabis user, without vascular risk factor who developed digital
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to describe the different arterial complications reported in cannabis smokers.
METHODS
This study was a literature review.
RESULTS
Cannabis use was found to be associated with stroke, myocardial infarction, and lower limb arteritis. Arterial disease involved
