Abstract
Revascularization for arterial stenosis in varied anatomic sites expos ed to therapeutic radiation has been well described. In most circumsta nces, symptomatic end organ ischemia has been the indication for surgi cal intervention. We report the case of a patient who had symptomatic carotid stenosis 40 years after having; ipsilateral neck dissection wi th radiation therapy. We did a saphenous vein graft interposition and free flap reconstruction of the overlying damaged skin.
