Carcinoid crisis is an infrequent and little-described complication of neuroendocrine tumors that can be life threatening. It may develop during induction of anesthesia, intraoperatively, during tumor manipulation and arterial embolization, or even spontaneously. The massive release of neuroendocrine substances can lead to potentially fatal complications. Somatostatin analogs inhibit the release of these substances and are the mainstay of treatment. The following case report describes a patient with reversible acute right-sided heart failure posterior to hepatic artery embolization.
类癌危象是神经内分泌肿瘤一种罕见且描述较少的并发症,可能危及生命。它可在麻醉诱导期间、术中、肿瘤操作和动脉栓塞期间发生,甚至自发出现。神经内分泌物质的大量释放可导致潜在的致命并发症。生长抑素类似物可抑制这些物质的释放,是主要的治疗方法。以下病例报告描述了一名在肝动脉栓塞后出现可逆性急性右心衰竭的患者。
