Thoracic aortitis and aortic dissection following pegfilgrastim administration.
European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 2017 November 2

Eight days after pegfilgrastim administration, her computed tomography scan revealed thickened bilateral common carotid arteries and thoracic aorta, which led to the diagnosis of pegfilgrastim-associated aortitis.
