Abstract

Medical management of non re-constructible and failed reconstruction in patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) has limited options. The objective was to study the safety and efficacy of Alprostin in the management of the patients presenting with Stages III and IV PAD. We hypothesized that administration of Alprostin will lead to an increase in the TcPO2 and ABI values. It may also aid in decreasing limb pain, promote ulcer healing and increase claudication distance.
