ABSTRACT
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE-1) is a potent vasodilator, which also inhibits platelet aggregation, affects the blood flow viscosity, and fibrinolysis. The compound also excerts anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the monocyte and neutrophil function. PGE-1 has been widely administered following microvascular flap surgery, along with perioperative antithrombotic agents such as low molecular weight heparin or aspirin, showing excellent results. We report a case showing successful salvage recovery from post-traumatic ischemic necrosis of the finger via PGE-1 assisted conservative treatment.
