Abstract	The destruction or break or rupture or discontinuity of body tissue or a part of body, is called Vrana.[1] Dushta-vrana, or non-healing ulcers, are a prevalent issue in the current period, often caused by trauma or pathologic factors, resulting in long term suffering for the patient. Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is an occlusive vascular disease characterized by segmental nonatherosclerotic inflammatory disorder of the small and medium arteries, veins, and nerves of the upper and lower extremities. It is also known as Buerger’s disease, frequently found in men who smoke.[2] Numerous surgical and parasurgical techniques, including Kshara Karma (chemical cauterization), Agnikarma (thermal cauterization), and Raktamokshana (therapetic blood letting), have been stated by Acharya Sushruta. Kshar Karma exhibits pharmacological as well as surgical therapeutic effects. This case study mentions use of Kshar Sutra Karma, in a case of Dushta-Vrana, ensuring complete healing by virtue of its Shodhan and Ropana characteristics, along with Chhedana Karma.[3]
