Abstract
Four cases of irradiation injury to large arteries are presented and the literature is reviewed. Three patterns of injury have emerged. Intimal damage resulting in mural thrombosis presenting within 5 years of irradiation.Fibrotic occlusion presenting within 10 years of injury.A predisposition to the development of atheroma together with periarterial fibrosis associated with a latent interval of 20 or more years. The treatment of choice is a bypass procedure of the arterial lesion.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
