DRUG-INDUCED IATROGENIC ARTERIOPATHY

Several drugs have been shown to cause vasomotor troubles such as Rayn aud's phenomenon, erythromelalgia, vasculitis, livedo reticularis, or acrocyanosis. Vascular symptoms may develop a few weeks or more after drug initiation, particularly when other drugs are associated than can potentiate vascular side effects. In this review, the authors describ ed the main characteristics of drug-induced vasculopathy, particularly those associated with ergotamine derivates, beta blocking agents or a ntineoplastic chemotherapy.
