title: Pharmacokinetics of intragraft iloprost infusion during femoro-crural reconstruction.
abstract: Pharmacokinetics of a single intra-graft infusion of 3000ng iloprost during femoro-crural bypass surgery have been investigated. Plasma iloprost concentrations, biphasic half-lives, and total drug clearances were found to occur within ranges demonstrated for IV infusion dose regimens.
