Concomitant coronary and multiple arch vessel stenoses in patients treated with external beam radiation: Pathophysiological basis and endovascular treatment

External beam radiation‐induced stenoses isolated to the coronary arteries or peripheral vessels have been previously described. We report for the first time the clinical presentation of two patients with concomitant coronary artery and multiple arch vessel disease following external beam radiation...

Description
Summary:External beam radiation‐induced stenoses isolated to the coronary arteries or peripheral vessels have been previously described. We report for the first time the clinical presentation of two patients with concomitant coronary artery and multiple arch vessel disease following external beam radiation of the chest. We review the pathophysiology, discuss the treatment options and describe the percutaneous treatment of coronary, carotid, subclavian, and axillary stenoses related to this rare but likely underdiagnosed disorder.
