Cisplatin-based chemotherapy was associated with late severe vascular toxicity, including hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident, in a 19-year-old man.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights severe late vascular toxicities, including myocardial infarction and stroke, associated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
A 19-year-old man with a germ cell tumor who experienced hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular accident (CVA) associated with hypomagnesemia as late complications of cisplatin-based chemotherapy is presented, and previously reported cases in the literature are reviewed. Different physiopathologic mechanisms are hypothesized for early and late vascular complications of cisplatin.
