Resumo

Este estudo tem por objetivo relatar um caso de isquemia crítica de membro inferior associada a quimioterapia com gemcitabina. O relato descreve o caso de um paciente de 68 anos submetido a duodenopancreatectomia devido a tumor no pâncreas. Um mês depois da operação, o paciente realizou quatro sessões de quimioterapia com gemcitabina, durante um mês. Após 30 dias, o paciente desenvolveu sintomas de doença arterial obstrutiva periférica, e duas semanas depois, isquemia crítica do membro inferior direito. O exame por imagem demonstrou doença arterial difusa associada à oclusão femoropoplítea com reenchimento distal precário. O paciente foi submetido a uma tentativa de revascularização que, devido às condições locais, foi malsucedida, resultando na amputação do membro no nível da coxa.

Abstract

We report a case of lower limb critical ischemia associated with chemotherapy with gemcitabine. This report presents a case of a 68-year-old man who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy due to pancreas tumor. One month later, the patient was submitted to four chemotherapy sessions with gemcitabine for 1 month. In addition, 30 days later he developed symptoms of peripheral arterial obstructive disease, and critical ischemia of the right lower limb 2 weeks later. An imaging study showed diffuse arterial disease associated with femoropopliteal occlusion and poor distal bed. The patient was submitted to a revascularization procedure, which was unsuccessful due to local conditions, resulting in above-knee amputation.
