During the physio-pathological process which causes phlebitis, a vesicular constriction and an aggregation of platelets occurs. Therefore, the authors believe that the application of a vesicular dilatar such as nitroglycerine would alleviate the symptoms of post-perfusion phlebitis and would be an alternate treatment to the commonly utilized heparinized crea m, about whose effectiveness in treating this medical problem virtually no documentation exists. The authors analyzed 22 patients checked into the Infernal Medicine Unit in a hospital in their city who were suffering from phlebitis as a secondary effect to an endovenous infusion to whom randomly had been applied one of the two treatments used in this study: a trans-dermal patch having 5 mg of nitroglycerine versus a heparinized cream. There were eleven patients in each study group. The authors conclude that post-perfusion phlebitis is a quite common problem in hospitalized patients and their symptoms can be effectively reduced by the use of nitroglycerine patches as treatment
