Coronary artery disease is a rare and only recently recognised complication of mediastinal irradiation. A 34-year-old man died suddenly eight years after mediastinal irradiation for Hodgkin's disease. Autopsy disclosed severe narrowing of all major extramural coronary arteries by atherosclerotic plaques whereas all other systemic and visceral arteries were virtually free of atheroma. Autopsy findings in the five reported cases of radiation-related coronary artery disease are reviewed.
冠状动脉疾病是纵隔放疗一种罕见且直到最近才被认识到的并发症。一名34岁男性在因霍奇金病接受纵隔放疗八年后突然死亡。尸检发现所有主要壁外冠状动脉因动脉粥样硬化斑块而严重狭窄，而所有其他体循环和内脏动脉几乎没有动脉粥样硬化。本文回顾了已报道的5例与放疗相关的冠状动脉疾病的尸检结果。
