A Case of Intermittent Claudication and Skin Ulcers of Lower Limb due to Arteriosclerosis Obliterans Successfully Treated with Prepared in the Hospital Keishibukuryogan and Daisaikoto / 日本東洋医学雑誌

ABSTRACT

Lower limb skin ulcers due to arteriosclerosis obliterans are severe ischemic lesions, and if preservation therapies such as antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatments are not effective, lower limb amputation may be necessary.We report the case of 73 year-old male patient suffering from intermittent claudication and skin ulcers on the heel of the left foot, who was successfully treated with keishibukuryogan and daisaikoto prepared in hospital. This case suggests that improvement of micro circulation with the addition of keishibukuryogan and daisaikoto to anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies, safely promoted an improvement of ischemic lesions due to arteriosclerosis obliterans.
