[Transarterial embolization of metastatic pheochromocytoma].

We successfully controlled hypertension of a 48-year-old female by embolizing metastatic pheochromocytoma of the liver. Although transarterial embolization of the hepatic artery was uneventful, the patient soon developed severe hypertension and tachycardia which were controlled medically. Symptoms subsided within 10-20 days. Follow-up CT showed reduction of the liver mass.
