Stiff to Dilate and Risky to Cut Through: Iliac Radiation Arteritis

Radiation arteritis is not an uncommon clinical situation, given that almost 50% of patients with cancer receive radiotherapy in the course of treatment. Radiation effects are non-specific, and late radiation tissue injury presentation can be very variable. However, radiation arteritis has some uniq...
