We report a case of a woman with recurrent axillary fungating breast cancer who developed catastrophic hemorrhage from tumor erosion of her axillary artery. This was treated successfully with endovascular placement of a covered arterial stent. We discuss the suitability of endovascular therapy for patients with advanced malignancy given its lower morbidity in this population with decreased life expectancy.
我们报告一例复发性腋窝溃疡性乳腺癌女性患者,其因肿瘤侵蚀腋动脉而发生灾难性出血。通过血管内植入覆膜动脉支架成功治疗了该患者。鉴于血管内治疗在预期寿命缩短的这一人群中发病率较低,我们讨论了其对晚期恶性肿瘤患者的适用性。
