Duodenal perforation and esophageal ischemia following transarterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report

We report a case of duodenal perforation with necrosis and esophageal ischemia after 8th TACE for unresectable HCC. Although this complication is rare and unexpected, it may result in severe sequelae requiring surgical repair. The careful procedure during TACE followed by post-TACE careful monitoring is required in patients with posthepatectomy or repeated TACE, especially in the case with unusual clinical manifestations.
