Abstract

Objective

Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is one of the most common types of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study aimed to explore the characteristics of the top 100 most cited articles in the TAO.

Methods

A bibliometric analysis based on the Web of Science (WOS) database was performed. Literature was retrieved and ranked by the citations. Listed below are the top 100 citations, including original articles, reviews, full-length proceeding papers, and case reports that were included for analysis. The type of literature, research areas, and languages were recorded. The trends of citations including the total citations, an analysis of publication and citation numbers were conducted each year. We analyzed citations from highly cited countries, authors, institutions, and journals. Research hotspots were gathered by a visualized analysis of author keywords.

Results

Most of the highly cited literature was original articles. A rising trend was observed in the number of citations per year. The peaks in the number of highly cited articles appeared in the year 1998 and 2006. The majority of the articles focused on the cardiovascular system and surgery. Journal of Vascular Surgery published most of the highly cited articles. The USA and Japan contributed nearly half the number of highly cited articles. Mayo Clinic and Nagoya University were highly cited institutions. Shionoya S and Olin JW were both the author with the largest number of citations and the most highly cited author in the reference. Articles that were highly cited most often addressed the following topics: “vasculitis”, “autoimmune disease”, and “critical limb ischemia”. Keywords that were mostly used in recent years were “stem cell therapy”, “progenitor therapy”, and “immunoadsorption”. The detection of bursts of author keywords showed the following: “permeability”, “differentiation”, and “critical limb ischemia” are recent keywords that have burst.

Conclusions

In this study, the highly cited contributors in the field of TAO research were identified. Most cited articles in the top 100 focused on the cardiovascular system and surgery. Treatment and pathophysiology including stem cell therapy, progenitor therapy, genetics, autoimmunity, and inflammation are the hotspots of TAO.
