MAN VERSUS MACHINE: PROVIDER DIRECTED VERSUS PRECISION AUTOMATED CRITICAL CARE MANAGEMENT IN A PORCINE MODEL OF DISTRIBUTIVE SHOCK.

Shock (Augusta, Ga.)·2024

Radiation therapy for abdominal aortic aneurysms can lead to morphea, a rare skin condition. This case highlights a potential side effect of endovascular repair procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Dermatology
  • Radiation Oncology

Background:

  • Fluoroscopically guided endovascular repair is a common treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms.
  • Radiation exposure is a known factor in various medical conditions.
  • Morphea is a localized sclerosing skin disorder.

Observation:

  • A patient developed morphea after undergoing fluoroscopically guided repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
  • The morphea presented in the vicinity of the radiation field.
  • The clinical presentation was consistent with radiation-induced morphea.

Findings:

  • This case represents a rare instance of radiation-induced morphea following endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.
  • The findings suggest a potential link between radiation dose and the development of morphea in this context.

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of morphea.

    • Implications:

    • Awareness of this potential complication is crucial for vascular surgeons and radiation oncologists.
    • Further research may be needed to elucidate the mechanisms and incidence of radiation-induced morphea after endovascular procedures.
    • Monitoring patients for dermatological changes post-procedure may be warranted.
