ABSTRACT: The aim of this case report is to present a novel approach
to the management of very severe anaphylactic reaction to Patent Blue Dye used
in Sentinel Node Biopsy for breast cancer treatment. The severity and duration
of cardiovascular effects has not been described previously in this setting.
Comprehensive ICU support including heamofiltration resulted in the patients’
complete recovery and successful long-term
well-being despite a change to our routine cancer care plan.
