Carotid artery revascularization through a radiated field by Lesèche, Guy

“…Radiation-induced accelerated atherosclerosis has been recognized for some time.1, 2, 3 and 4 Because of the prolonged survival of patients treated with radiation,5 the frequency of this long-term side effect is expected to increase. In a prospective study, late (>70%) carotid artery stenosis was found in 11.7% of 240 patients who had undergone cervical irradiation.6 The chronic effects of radiation therapy lead to decreased vascularity and increased fibrosis, which in turn lead to risk for tissue necrosis, infection, and ulceration. …”
