Percutaneous transcatheter aspiration of pulmonary embolism leading to diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma tumor embolus and change in systemic chemotherapy

Abstract: The management of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is complex, particularly when complicated by pulmonary embolism. In these cases, atezolizumab-bevacizumab therapy is contraindicated due to an elevated risk of thromboembolic events. Differentiating pulmonary tumor embolism from thromboembolic disease is diagnostically challenging. This report outlines the benefit of transcatheter aspiration to obtain pathological evidence of pulmonary artery tumor embolus in an HCC patient. The intervention enabled a significant shift in the management strategy, leading to an escalation of systemic HCC therapy. This case underscores the importance of precise diagnostic techniques such as transcatheter aspiration in guiding treatment decisions, particularly in cases where pulmonary embolism may signify an underlying malignancy-driven process
