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

Figure 3

Extensive pulmonary embolization and dilated pulmonary vessels could be observed post embolization. (A) A follow-up CT performed 3 days post TAE showed extensive lipiodol embolization (arrowheads) in both lungs well visible in the atelectatic basal segments. (B) In the vicinity of the right diaphragmatic surface, widened vascular spaces (arrowheads) and a thick pulmonary vein (arrow) could be identified, suggestive of a pulmonary AV shunt.
