Accelerated development of mesenteric and renal artery calcific atherosclerosis following radiotherapy for testicular cancer

We present a case of a 61-year-old male presenting with post-prandial epigastric pain and marked weight loss. Investigation revealed calcific atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta, coeliac axis, superior mesenteric (SMA) and renal arteries. He had undergone radiotherapy for testicular teratoma 34 y...

description We present a case of a 61-year-old male presenting with post-prandial epigastric pain and marked weight loss. Investigation revealed calcific atherosclerosis of the abdominal aorta, coeliac axis, superior mesenteric (SMA) and renal arteries. He had undergone radiotherapy for testicular teratoma 34 years previously. Percutaneous mesenteric revascularization by primary stenting of the SMA proved successful. Radiotherapy for intra-abdominal malignancy has the potential to induce both acute and chronic enteritis and an accelerated atherosclerotic process in the arteries within the field of beam.
