    Radiation therapy can cause serious large artery injuries, particularly in the carotid and aorto-iliac vessels, leading to complex surgical challenges. Despite these difficulties, surgical interventions like bypass grafts offer good long-term outcomes for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Radiation Oncology
    • Cardiovascular Disease

    Background:

    • Large artery injuries are rare but serious complications following radiation therapy.
    • Fibrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and surrounding the arteries complicates treatment.
    • Understanding the link between radiation and arterial disease is crucial for patient management.

    Observation:

    • Six patients presented with arterial disease after radiotherapy, affecting carotid and aorto-iliac vessels.
    • Radiation was the primary cause in four cases, a contributing factor in one, and associated in the final case.
    • Surgical intervention was consistently challenging due to extensive fibrosis.

    Findings:

    • Carotid artery stenosis was treated with bypass grafts (Gore-Tex or venous), achieving successful outcomes.

  • Aorto-iliac occlusive disease was managed with bypass grafts or medical treatment, depending on patient condition.
  • All patients demonstrated positive long-term results following their respective treatments.

    • Implications:

    • Radiation-induced arterial disease requires specialized surgical approaches.
    • Effective surgical strategies can lead to favorable long-term outcomes despite treatment complexities.
    • Further research into preventing and managing these arterial complications is warranted.
