Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Radiation injury to arterial occlusion is a rare and late complication of radiotherapy. Numerous adverse reactions may occur secondary to radiation therapy. A well-known side effect is radiation-induced occlusive lesions and the enhancement of normally occurring atherosclerosis. We report a case of symptomatic right iliac and femoral artery occlusion after radiation therapy for carcinoma of the testis.
