Abstract:
:Treatment of breast cancer involves surgery, then perhaps radiation, hormonal or chemotherapy. Radiation-induced arterial injury is a well-known entity that represents a rare cause of arterial occlusion. We present the case of a 76-year old woman who complained of a severe intermittent claudication of the right upper limb. Twenty years before, she underwent a right-sided radical mastectomy followed by intense radiation therapy for several weeks. The patient was found to suffer of a radiotherapy-related axillary artery thrombosis and was successfully treated by angioplasty and stenting.
