Metastatic hepatic tumours can be treated with hepatic transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Common complications associated with TACE include hepatic insufficiency, fever, and pain. However, pulmonary embolism is rarely documented as a fatal adverse effect. We report a case of pulmonary embolism following TACE in a renal cell carcinoma patient with liver metastases. Total recovery is noted after the effective treatment.
转移性肝肿瘤可通过肝动脉化疗栓塞术（TACE）进行治疗。与TACE相关的常见并发症包括肝功能不全、发热和疼痛。然而，肺栓塞作为一种致命的不良反应却鲜有记录。我们报告一例肾细胞癌肝转移患者在TACE术后发生肺栓塞的病例。经有效治疗后患者完全康复。
