Out of 100 patients treated by intraarterial perfusion of prostaglandin E1 we selected 36 cases who have been treated after a lumbar sympathectomy or reconstruction on the femoro-popliteal segment. The patients were in the III and IV stage of occlusive diseases by Fontain. All patients were divided into four groups: (a) prostaglandin E1 after a lumbar sympathectomy (20); (b) prostaglandin E1 after failed femoro-popliteal bypass (8); (c) prostaglandin E1 with patent femoro-popliteal bypass and distal progression of the occlusive disease (3); (d) prostaglandin E1 with previously femoro-popliteal reconstruction and poor run off (5). After intraoperative introduction of a catheter into the superficial femoral artery, profunda femoral artery (a, b), a patent graft (c) or just implanted graft (d), a continuous intraarterial perfusion of prostaglandin E1 was applied, in doses 10 nanograms/kg body weight/minute, in total doses 3000 nanograms. The perfusion time was 48-72 h. The patients were controlled immediately after treatment as well as 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after. Our early and late results of the intraarterial perfusion of prostaglandin E1 proved as a very successful limb salvage procedure.
