Successful treatment of vasospastic acute ischaemia with intra-arterial nicardipine.
Accidental intra-arterial injection of a colouring agent (Bonney's blue) in a 28-year-old male patient induced acute ischaemia of the lower limb, resistant to standard therapy. Its successful treatment was finally obtained by intra-arterial infusion of nicardipine.
