From: Cerebral iodized lipid embolization via a pulmonary arteriovenous shunt: rare complication of transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 1

The large right lobe HCC was embolized via the right inferior phrenic artery. (A) Color Doppler sonography of the liver revealed a hypervascular HCC, which almost completely replaced the right lobe and extended to the diaphragm. (B) According to the initial angiogram the tumor was in part supplied by both the right inferior phrenic and the right hepatic arteries. Following selective catheterization and TAE the feeding arteries were closed off with gelatin sponge particles.
