Underlying coronary artery disease and successful bone marrow transplantation: a case report.
The cardiovascular risk of concurrent coronary artery disease in patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is not well known. We present a case of a 32-year-old male Hodgkin's disease patient with prior chemotherapy and radiotherapy, who underwent autologous BMT. His underlying single vessel coronary artery disease was well documented and he suffered no post-autologous BMT cardiotoxicity.
