Radiation arteritis is a rare but serious complication following radiation therapy for the treatment of breast cancer. We present the case of a 53-year-old female presenting with right upper extremity claudication 4 months following radiation therapy for the treatment of right breast cancer, stage 3b invasive ductal carcinoma. She was referred to vascular surgery and initial imaging with computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed occlusion from the origin of the subclavian to axillary artery. We discuss the implications that these vascular findings have on potential breast reconstruction options.
放射性动脉炎是乳腺癌放疗后一种罕见但严重的并发症。我们报告了一例53岁女性患者的病例，该患者在接受右乳3b期浸润性导管癌放疗4个月后出现右上肢间歇性跛行。她被转诊至血管外科，计算机断层扫描血管造影（CTA）的初步影像显示，从锁骨下动脉起始处至腋动脉闭塞。我们讨论了这些血管检查结果对潜在乳房重建方案的影响。
