Post-embolization syndrome (PES) is a complication that commonly occurs after treatment with transarterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Patients with PES often present with clinical symptoms such as fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and elevated liver enzymes typically 24-72 hours after the procedure. While cases of PES have been documented in patients treated with transarterial chemoembolization, here, we present an unusual case of delayed onset PES in a 70-year-old male with HCC following treatment with a form of transarterial radioembolization.
栓塞后综合征(PES)是经动脉栓塞治疗肝细胞癌(HCC)后常见的一种并发症。PES患者通常在术后24 - 72小时出现发热、恶心、腹痛及肝酶升高等临床症状。虽然经动脉化疗栓塞治疗的患者中已有PES病例的记录,但在此,我们报告一例70岁HCC男性患者在接受一种经动脉放射性栓塞治疗后出现延迟性PES的罕见病例。
