Iliac Atherosclerotic Occlusive Disease Complicating Radiation Therapy for Cervix Cancer: A Case Series

Primary Perineal Wound Closure After Preoperative Radiotherapy and Abdominoperineal Resection has a High Incidence of Wound Failure

“…[25][26][27][28][29] Acute and chronic radiation damage subsequently may result in complications such as pelvic abscess, bowel strictures, fistulas among pelvic organs, and/or vascular occlusion. 27,28,[30][31][32] Impairment of postoperative wound healing is a well-recognized risk of RT. 29 After APR, the perineal wound is particularly vulnerable to complications such as infection and delayed healing.…”

Radiation‐induced peripheral artery disease

“…In most cases, the atheromatous plaque tends to coexist with abundant sclerosis and is a result of a chronic obliterative process. Hence, the major presentation is intermittent claudication or critical limb ischemia [11]. The average total dose of radiation in these patients ranged from 40 to 65 Gy, which parallels the doses used currently.…”

SCAI Expert consensus statement: Evaluation, management, and special considerations of cardio‐oncology patients in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (endorsed by the cardiological society of india, and sociedad Latino Americana de Cardiologıa intervencionista)

“…Radiation‐induced renal artery and lower extremity peripheral vascular disease have been less frequently reported in patients who have received abdominal radiation for lymphoma, abdominal sarcomas, and genitourinary malignancies . Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and/or stent placement and surgical interventional strategies have been employed with success, but data are extremely limited.…”
