  • Title: Prostacyclin analogue (beraprost) relief of cold intolerance after digital replantation and revascularization.
    Author: Isogai N, Miyasato Y, Asamura S.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 2004 Aug; 29(4):406-8. PubMed ID: 15234511.
    Abstract:
    Cold intolerance frequently occurs after successful digital revascularization and replantation. A series of 11 patients with cold intolerance 6 to 24 months after digital revascularization/replantation were treated daily for 2 weeks with beraprost, a stable prostacyclin analogue. That pain was reduced in 9 of 11 cases after treatment and digital thermography showed significantly increased surface temperature after the 2-week course of beraprost. These findings support the use of beraprost to relieve symptoms of cold intolerance under these clinical conditions.
