title: Unsuccessful treatment of resistant thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura with prostacyclin.
abstract: Prostacyclin has been suggested as a useful agent for  patients with thromobotic thrombocytopenic pupura (TTP)  refractory to plasma-exchange. We report our unsuccessful  experience with iloprost in a patient with TTP resistant to  plasma-exghange, vincristine and high dose  immunoglobulins.
