Two cases are presented where the use of epoprostenol sodium (prostacyclin) was used intraoperatively to prevent platelet thrombus during arterial microvascular anastomoses. Both patients required a free muscle transfer at an unfavourable time following injury when platelet thrombus formation was a significant risk.
