Abstract

Objective To evaluate the severe complications of transcatherter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods The recent severe complications of 1000 times TACE for 556 patients with HCC were retrospectively analyzed. Results The recent severe complications of TACE included massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage (3/1000, 0.3%), liver failure (26/1000, 2.6%), pulmonary lipiodol embolism (5/1000, 0.5%), cerebral lipiodol embolism (2/1000, 0.2%) and liver abscess (2/1000, 0.2%). Conclusion The severe complications of TACE for HCC will influence the prognosis and should be noticed.
