ABSTRACT

The case report of 2 patients with occlussive peripheral artery disease due to obliterating atherosclerosis type 3, stage IV, with critical ischemia of the extremities who were assisted in the Hospital of the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute of Ibarra, Imbabura province, Republic of Ecuador through the agreement with the Cuban medical services, are described. The affected patients were treated with alprostadil via parenteral, in order to alleviate pain during rest, to achieve the scaring of the ulcers, to limit the ischemic gangrene and to carry out just smaller amputations, so that the affected patients preserved their extremities and they returned to their daily activities.
