Abstract
Modern treatment programs for Hodgkin’s lymphoma include both drug antitumor therapy and radiation exposure. When conducting remote radiation therapy on the mediastinal lymph nodes, damage to the heart, thoracic aorta and lungs is possible. Such late cardiovascular complications as damage to the valvular apparatus and progressive atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, leading to obstruction with the subsequent development of coronary heart disease, more often occurred after the use of extended radiation fields and high total focal doses. The article presents a clinical case of a 64-year-old patient with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, who successfully underwent staged cardiac surgery for severe aortic stenosis and progressive atherosclerosis with calcification of the coronary arteries due to radiation exposure.
