Abstract
Therapy with angiogenesis inhibitors carries the risk for health and life-threatening cardio-vascular complications. The most common include the development of arterial hypertension, thromboembolic events (venous and arterial) and bleeding. This study provides a detailed analysis of their incidence, pathomechanisms as well as methods of prophylaxis and treatment among ovarian cancer patients receiving bevacizumab.
