  • Title: [Conservative therapy of peripheral arterial occlusive disease].
    Author: Frauchiger B.
    Journal: Schweiz Rundsch Med Prax; 1990 Dec 11; 79(50):1560-3. PubMed ID: 2270377.
    Abstract:
    Strict control of risk factors and walking exercise are the basics to any medical treatment of arterial obstructive disease of the extremities. The benefit of platelet-aggregation inhibitors is well established. Acetylsalicylic acid slows the progression of recurrence of thrombotic occlusion after endarterectomy or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in the femoral blood stream. Long-term oral anticoagulants are indicated after bypass surgery. Prostaglandin E1 and high-energy phosphates are of proven benefit in patients with pain at rest. Vasoactive drugs such as Dipyridamole are still controversial.
