Hepatic transarterial embolization has been widely used in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma and other liver tumors. Despite being a safe treatment, some complications associated with this procedure have been described. The most frequent adverse effect of transarterial embolization is postembolization syndrome, whereas infections account for only 3.4% of complication. We report the first case of lung abscess as a complication of transarterial embolization used in the treatment of multinodular hepatocellular carcinoma.
肝动脉栓塞术已广泛应用于肝细胞癌和其他肝脏肿瘤的治疗。尽管该治疗方法安全,但仍有一些与之相关的并发症被报道。经动脉栓塞最常见的不良反应是栓塞后综合征,而感染仅占并发症的3.4%。我们报告了首例因多结节肝细胞癌治疗中使用经动脉栓塞术而导致肺脓肿的病例。
