    Abstract:
    Twenty-five patients affected by chronic lower limb obliterating arteriopathy with critical ischemia in one limb were treated with PGE1 for 4 weeks and then followed-up for one year. On day 14 of treatment three groups of patients were selected on the basis of clinical symptoms and instrumental tests; patients were subdivided into Responders, Partial Responders and Non-Responders. The results obtained were satisfactory in view of the fact that the selection into three groups enabled Partial Responders to be reclassified, in some cases by repeating the treatment cycle.
