Pancreas lipiodol embolism induced acute necrotizing pancreatitis following transcatheter arterial chemoembolization for hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report and literature review

Conclusion: AP is still a rare complication after TACE. Etiology is still attributed to the occurrence of shunting and embolization drug reflux. Strategies strengthening the catheter tip that is placed as close to the distal branches of the hepatic artery for the possible careful injection of embolic materials is still the key to avoid post-TACE AP.
