Three Cases of Decubitus Treated with Prostacyclin Analogue (Beraprost Sodium)

Abstract

We herein report 3 cases of decubitus that were treated with a prostacyclin analogue (beraprost sodium). Beraprost sodium appeared to effectively promote wound healing and prevent recurrence. In conclusion, the administration of a prostacyclin analogue might be another useful approach for the cure and prevention of chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers or decubitus.
