摘 要:Background Pulmonary lipiodol embolism after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) was rare and life-threatening,occasionally reported in previous *** aimed to review the records of 11 patients with pulmonary oily embolism and analyze their characteristics of radiographic findings and risk *** Records of 478 consecutive patients who underwent 1 026 percutaneous TACE procedures were retrospectively *** cases with respiratory symptoms were identified as having symptomatic pulmonary lipiodol embolism after *** of these patients,including clinical presentation,techniques of TACE,imaging features of tumor and chest imaging findings,were *** Eleven (2.3%) of 478 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous TACE procedures had a pulmonary oily embolism after *** mean size of target tumors embolized was (13.6±2.0) *** were *** mean volume of lipiodol was (21.8±8.2) *** oily embolisms were revealed within 12-48 hours after *** most severe respiratory symptoms and imaging abnormalities of the eight patients who survived presented between 2 and 5 days after TACE,becoming normal between 12 and 35 days after *** patients *** CT revealed retention of radiopaque lipiodol in *** Pulmonary lipiodol embolism occurs easily in patients who have large hyper-vascular hepatic malignant *** high-density lipiodol deposition in the lung field can be used as diagnostic feature.
