Pulmonary vascular damage is a rare but possible complication of treatment with chemotherapeutic agents or bone marrow transplantation. The main clinical manifestations involving the pulmonary vessels are the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension or pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. In this chapter we describe the main mechanisms underlying the development of this form of toxicity, the screening algorithm, and its clinical management.

Abstract
Pulmonary vascular damage is a rare but possible complication of treatment with chemotherapeutic agents or bone marrow transplantation. The main clinical manifestations involving the pulmonary vessels are the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension or pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. In this chapter we describe the main mechanisms underlying the development of this form of toxicity, the screening algorithm, and its clinical management.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
