Correlation Factor Analysis of Infections and Neurological Complications after Interventional Chemoembolization of Liver Cancer by Digital Subtraction Angiography Images.

Abstract In order to explore the influencing factors of infections and nerve injury complications after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment of primary liver cancer (PLC), 80 PLC patients who underwent TACE were included to observe the incidence rates of post-TACE complications, such as postoperative infections, fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, liver function damage, bone marrow suppression, and nerve damage caused by ectopic embolization of iodized oil. The differences between the 6 complications in different groups of different alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, liver function grades, tumor morphology, tumor blood supply, arteriovenous fistula, and different iodized oil dosage during surgery were analyzed. There was a statistical difference when P was
