Abstract
The management of patients suffering from bronchial and lung tumors depends on conventional chemotherapy and/or targeted molecular therapies. The prescription of these chemotherapies may be accompanied by cardiovascular complications, principally congestive heart failure, arterial hypertension and arterial or venous thrombo-embolism, the frequency of which varies with the molecule administered. The management of these complications is currently poorly standardized and should take account of the patient's oncological prognosis.
