Cocaine-related peripheral vascular occlusive disease treated with iloprost in addition to anticoagulants and antibiotics.
We describe a case of acute ischemia of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers of the right hand secondary to peripheral vascular occlusive disease induced by repeated intra-arterial cocaine injections. The complete occlusion of the distal arteries resolved following treatment with iloprost, a synthetic stable analogue of prostacyclin PGI2, in addition to anticoagulants and antibiotics.

Cocaine-Induced raynaud's phenomenon and ischaemic finger necrosis.
A 37-year-old man with ischaemic finger necrosis and recent-onset Raynaud's phenomenon associated with cocaine abuse is reported. Initial therapy with systemic vasodilators, low-molecular-weight heparin and aspirin failed. Resolution of the ischaemia and ulcer healing was rapidly achieved with intravenous infusions of the prostacyclin analogue iloprost. The mechanism of vascular ischaemic injury and the development of secondary Raynaud's phenomenon due to cocaine use is discussed.
