Abstract

A 75-year-old man presented with painful discoloration and ulceration of his toes of both feet. These symptoms appeared approximately 8 weeks after commencing amiodarone and warfarin. No source of emboli was found. His symptoms resolved completely on stopping warfarin but returned after warfarin was recommenced. He developed dry gangrene and requiring amputation of several toes. Warfarin was stopped again and his symptoms improved significantly. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
