    Author: Mattsson E, Ohlin A, Balkfors B, Fredin HO, Nilsson P, Bergqvist D.
    Journal: Eur J Surg; 1991 Apr; 157(4):289-92. PubMed ID: 1677286.
    Abstract:
    In a 73-year-old woman with trimalleolar fracture, secondary acute ischemia of the limb and renal failure developed in association with heparin-dihydroergotamine thromboprophylaxis. Earlier cases of thromboprophylaxis-related angiospasm are briefly reviewed. The condition is infrequent, but trauma of extremities and shock are risk factors. Renal failure is rare.
