Key result
High-risk percutaneous coronary intervention and subsequent transcatheter aortic valve replacement were successfully performed in a 61-year-old woman with radiation-induced cardiovascular disease.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the feasibility of sequential high-risk PCI and TAVR in a patient with radiation-induced cardiovascular disease who is a poor surgical candidate.
Supports feasibility in poor surgical candidates with radiation-induced disease; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
This report describes the case of a 61-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea, aortic stenosis, and coronary artery disease-typical side effects of radiation therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma. A poor candidate for surgery, she underwent successful high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention and subsequent transcatheter aortic valve replacement. This report highlights some of the cardiovascular-specific sequelae of radiation therapy for cancer treatment; in addition, possible directions for future investigations are discussed.

D. Ciprian Nieto (2016) conducted a case report in Radiation-induced cardiovascular disease (n=1). High-risk percutaneous coronary intervention and transcatheter aortic valve replacement was evaluated. High-risk percutaneous coronary intervention and subsequent transcatheter aortic valve replacement were successfully performed in a 61-year-old woman with radiation-induced cardiovascular disease.
