[Retrograde infusion of prostaglandin E1 in angiologic ambulatory care: why and how?].
In comparison with control-groups it is shown (a) that the convenient retrograde injection makes prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) the most effective therapy for perfusion defects of different etiology and (b) that the easy application-technique and the good tolerance omits admission of these severe patients to the hospital and justifies the relatively high costs.
