Summary : We report on a 75-year-old man with peripheral, arterial occlusive disease in Fontaine stage IV. Treatment with Ginkgo biloba EGb 761 brought about the healing of an ulcer caused by ischemia. This pretibial ulcer had been triggered by a minor trauma and 3 years later still showed no signs of healing, despite intensive conservative (PgE1, Lipo PgE1) and operative (Mashcraft) therapy. Because of the patient’s cardiac condition, we decided not to implant a y or femeral-popliteal bypass and instead started drug therapy with Ginkgo biloba EGb 761. After 2 weeks, the ulcer had already decreased significantly in size and had healed completely after 4 months. |
