Abstract:
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) improves the survival rate in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite the low probability, iatrogenic hepatic arterial dissections during interventional procedure are rarely created by the technical difficulties. Direct trauma from the guidewire, the tip of the catheter, or the jet of contrast injection can contribute to iatrogenic hepatic arterial dissections. We report one case of a female who had HCC necrosis caused by iatrogenic hepatic arterial dissection during TACE. Ischemia resulting from iatrogenic hepatic arterial dissection during TACE was smilar to the result of transarterial embolization for HCC on our case. To our knowledge, none of the similar cases was reported in previously published literatures.
