A Case Series of Liver Abscess Formation after Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization for Hepatic Tumors

Conclusions TACE must be implemented with extreme caution to avoid liver abscess, especially for hepatic tumors larger in size and for lesions close to the gallbladder. Despite its low incidence, liver abscess after TACE can cause serious consequences. Effective treatment requires early diagnosis, timely use of sufficient doses of appropriate antibiotics, and proper implementation of abscess incision, drainage and aspiration.
