Sensory polyneuropathy associated with paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent

Abstract Paclitaxel is a microtubule-stabilizing chemotherapeutic agent used in ovarian and breast cancer; its principal adverse effect is sensory neuropathy. We describe the occurrence of sensory polyneuropathy after multiple paclitaxel-eluting stents in a patient who may have sub-clinical Sjogrens...
