Intra-arterial injection of temazepam in drug abusers
Eur J Vasc Surg.
1993 Jan.
Abstract
The effects of intra-arterial injection of Temazepam are described in 11 drug abusers admitted over a 6 month period. All patients suffered severe ischaemia, and injection into the radial artery invariably resulted in tissue loss leading to amputation. The pathogenesis and options for treatment are discussed.
