الوصف: Intravenous cyclophosphamide pulse therapy (IVCY) exerts its efficacy against interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc) by restoring vascular injuries as well as aberrant immune activation. We recently experienced two patients with SSc-ILD in whom the values of brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) reflected the efficacy of IVCY. We herein report the details of these cases and discuss the potential of FMD to predict and evaluate the effect of IVCY on SSc-ILD.
