Overview
Ischemic gangrene can be medically treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, and antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin and clopidogrel. Wet gangrene and gas gangrene are treated with antibiotics which should cover microorganisms detected in culture of the specimen with gangrene. [1]
