Abstract

Endothelial vascular tone modulators are thought to be involved in aetiopathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SS) and of peripheral artery occlusive disease (PAOD). Iloprost, a prostacyclin (PGI2) analogue, induces clinical benefit in patients suffering from peripheral ischaemia. This study was performed to investigate the effect of this drug on endothelial function in vivo to elucidate the role of vascular tone modulators.
