Subclavian artery occlusion 42 years after mastectomy and radiotherapy
Journal Article
·
· Am. J. Surg.; (United States)
Left subclavian artery occlusion developed in a patient 42 years after a left radical mastectomy and radiotherapy. The vascular supply was successfully reconstructed by a graft from the right subclavian artery to the left brachial artery. Clinical and experimental evidence has demonstrated that radiotherapy can damage large vessels (2,4,5). It is our contention that radiotherapy was the causative factor in the case of subclavian artery occlusion reported herein.
