Arterial Emboli Complicating Cisplatin Therapy
We report three cases of arterial emboli in patients with lung cancer treated with cisplatin chemotherapy. All three patients were managed without surgical intervention but subsequent oncological treatment was complicated by the sequelae of arterial emboli. We discuss the issues surrounding these patients and the importance of identifying patients at risk of arterial embolic phenomena with cisp...
متن کاملArterial Occlusive Disease Complicating Radiation Therapy of Cervical Cancer
Radiation-induced arterial disease is caused by significant atherosclerosis in the circumjacent vessels being irradiated. Even though this has been recognized as survival of cancer patients treated with radiotherapy improves, it is a problem that is often under-reported. We present a case of chronic thromboembolic occlusion of right common iliac artery in a 53-year-old woman who was treated wit...
متن کاملThe Management of Peripheral Arterial Emboli.
ONE of the main difficulties in assessing the results of any surgical procedure is the provision of a directly comparable series of patients on whom it has not been employed. Nowhere is this more evident than in trying to determine the value of embolectomy in the management of peripheral arterial emboli. The problem of comparing the results of conservative and operative management is considerab...
متن کاملStudy of Arterial Gas Emboli Behavior
In an attempt to better understand the behavior of gas emboli, a bench top vascular bifurcation model was designed and manufactured. The model represented physiological parameters of arteries and arterioles, resulting in an accurate portrayal of likely bubble behavior in the body. To further achieve realistic properties, a 60% glycerin-water solution was prepared to match relevant physiological...
متن کاملCerebral arterial lesions resulting from inflammatory emboli.
In order to study the effects of septic embolism on the brain, silicone rubber emboli of various types were injected into the carotid arteries of 35 dogs. Pathologic and angiographic studies were performed to assess the resultant arterial and parenchymal lesions. Pure silicone rubber emboli (14 dogs) produced occasional intra-arterial thrombosis but no arteritis. Sterile and bacterially contami...
