Anthracycline Extravasation

The treatment of accidental extravasation of anthracycline-based chemotherapy has markedly improved with the recent introduction of a systemic antidote, Savene. However, efficacy data on this treatment is mainly based on extravasation from peripheral catheters. This review presents data on 7 cases of Savene treatment of anthracycline extravasations from central venous catheters.

The Right

The health care system in Peru treats 15,000 dialysis patients annually. Approximately 45% of patients receive therapy using catheters. The incidence of catheter-induced superior vena cava (SVC) occlusion is increasing along with its associated significant morbidity and vascular access dysfunction. One of the unusual manifestations of this complication is bleeding “downhill” esophageal varices caused by reversal of blood flow through esophageal veins around the obstruction to the right atrium. Herein is presented the case of an 18-year-old woman on hemodialysis complicated by SVC occlusion and bleeding esophageal varices who underwent successful endovascular recanalization of the SVC. Bleeding from “downhill” esophageal varices should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dialysis patients exposed to central venous catheters. Aggressive endovascular treatment of SVC occlusion is recommended to preserve upper extremity access function and prevent bleeding from this complication.
