Article Synopsis
- Chronic radiation-induced arterial injury can often be predicted based on tumor types and where they are located in the body.
- The case discussed involves a young patient who developed chronic aortic occlusion after receiving radiation treatment for Ewing sarcoma, leading to severe leg pain and failed endovascular treatment.
- Successful surgical reconstruction of the aorta was achieved, emphasizing the lasting impacts of radiation on vascular health and the difficulties of surgery in previously irradiated areas.
