BACKGROUND: @entity715 events, arterial or venous in origin, still remain a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in @entity5 @entity1 . The propensity for their development in oncology @entity1 is partially a consequence of the disease itself and partially a result of our attempts to treat it. One of the rarest and deadliest @entity1031 complications is arterial @entity5327 . The high mortality rate is caused by its rarity and by its non-specific clinical presentation, both of which make early diagnosis and treatment difficult. Hence, most diagnoses and treatments occur late in the course of the disease. The issue survivors of arterial @entity5327 may face is @entity5277 , which has become a chronic condition after the introduction of parenteral nutrition at home. CASE REPORT: We present a 73-year-old @entity5 @entity1 who developed acute arterial mesenteric @entity715 at the beginning of the pre-operative radiochemotherapy. Almost the entire length of his small intestine, except for the proximal 50 cm of it, and the ascending colon had to be resected. After multiorgan failure his condition improved, and he was able to successfully complete radical treatment (preoperative radiotherapy and surgery) for the @entity189 , despite developing @entity5277 ( @entity5277 ) and being dependent upon home-based parenteral nutrition to fully cover his nutritional needs. CONCLUSIONS: @entity5327 and resultant @entity5277 are not absolute contraindications for radical oncological treatment since such @entity1 can still achieve long-term remission.

XXXX after capecitabine treatment in @entity5 and resultant @entity5277 is not an absolute contraindication for radical oncological treatment.
