“…First, it should be noted that anticoagulants and thrombolytic drugs are described as factors that cause cholesterol microembolism. In addition, many authors have documented worsened clinical status after the introduction of heparin, as well as the absence of good results with the use of antiplatelet drugs in cases with atheroembolism 8,[16][17][18] ; • the use of vasodilators, especially calcium channel blockers, relieves the ischemic pain of lower limbs secondary to vasospasm. However, the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors should be avoided due to their negative effects on kidney function 19 ; • the use of high doses of statins is defended by several authors, as they stabilize the cholesterol-rich atheroma plates, causing improved kidney function and ischemia of lower limbs, due to their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulator properties 20 ; • prostaglandin E 1 (PGE 1 ) is a substance of high biological activity and different properties, such as: vasodilating action, inhibition of platelet aggregation, fibrinolysis activation, modulation of cell proliferation, fibrinogenesis and hemorheological activity 13 .…”
