Liver Infarction after Drug-Eluting Embolic Transarterial Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma in the Setting of a Large Portosystemic Shunt

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Adverse events related to hepatic ischemia may occur after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) and are noted more frequently in patients with portosystemic shunts. The presented case describes hepatic infarction after drug-eluting embolic (DEE) TACE in a patient with a large, presumably congenital portosystemic shunt. The authors will discuss risk factors for adverse outcomes after TACE in the setting of portosystemic shunts and present strategies to minimize such complications.
