Acute Reversible Cardiomyopathy and Thromboembolism After Cisplatin and 5-Fluorouracil Chemotherapy

Abstract: Acute development of cardiomyopathy and occlusive thromboembolic events following cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is rare but frequently lethal. The authors report the successful management of such an event in a 52-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the soft palate. The possible pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed.

“…Cisplatin usage is also associated with the cardiotoxicity including arrhythmia, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure [1–5]. CP treatment in combination with complementary anticancer medications such as methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, bleomycin and doxorubicin is concomitant with fatal cardiac disorders [6]. CP-containing chemotherapy to the patients encourages deterioration in the abundance of various antioxidants in the plasma, which may lead to the failure of anti-oxidative defense mechanism.…”

“…To date, 10 case vignettes have been published reporting TCM related to 5-FU administration [23,26,[42][43][44]. The patients represented in the case reports range from 14 to 79 years of age [45,46].…”

“…Most of these patients presented with chest pain. One presented with ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest (who subsequently survived), and one experienced sudden circulatory collapse and death during the fifth cycle of 5-FU infusion following recovery from TCM during the first cycle [42,43]. These 10 patients had varying degrees of ECG changes and had reduced LVEF ranging from 10 to 34%.…”

“…Reports of intracardiac thrombus following cisplatin-based regimens and 5-FU, although rare, can be found in the literature [13] [14] [15], but very little is available on the safety of the continuation of treatment in these cases, as many patients don't survive or are not fit enough for therapy afterwards. On the case reported by Ikeda et al, the patient resumed therapy after resolution on the thrombus, which was not possible in our patient [16].…”
