Pulmonary lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has become an effective alternative treatment strategy for patients with inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although TACE is relatively safe, pulmonary lipiodol embolism is a rare and potentially fatal complication which is often not anticipated by physicians. About 14 patients with pulmonary lipiodol embolism progressing to respiratory di...
متن کاملCerebral lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma.
A case of cerebral lipiodol embolism after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma is presented. A 76-year-old man underwent TACE for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Immediately after chemoembolization, his level of consciousness deteriorated. Computed tomography revealed deposition of iodized oil in the cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, and thalami. Magneti...
متن کاملCerebral iodized lipid embolization via a pulmonary arteriovenous shunt: rare complication of transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma
We report the first European case of cerebral iodized lipid embolism post transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma. Lipiodol emboli and corresponding multifocal brain ischemia were documented with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) in the acutely symptomatic patient. Transcranial Doppler sonography with contrast indicated a right-to-left shunt, while on...
متن کاملA rare complication after transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma.
An 80-year-old woman was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma and underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). The procedure went smoothly without any complications. However, she presented with a dry cough 3 months after the intervention. On physical examination, she did not appear cyanotic. Chest auscultation revealed a minimal crackle sound in the perihilar lung fields; other respirat...
متن کاملPulmonary complications of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an effective palliative intervention that is widely accepted for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Post-TACE pulmonary complications resulting in acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are rare events. Pulmonary complications after TACE are thought to be related to chemical injury subsequent to the migratio...
