    Abstract:
    A case of acute pulmonary complication following intra-arterial infusion of Lipiodol-Adriamycin emulsion for hepatocellular carcinoma was reported. Intra-arterial infusion chemotherapy was performed on a 75-year-old male with Lipiodol-Adriamycin emulsion (Lipiodol 8 ml + Adriamycin 40 mg). Severe dyspnea and cyanosis started about 30 minutes after the infusion, and blood gas analysis revealed hypoxemia and hypocapnia. Chest X-ray revealed diffuse infiltrative shadow throughout the both lungs. He was on positive end-expiratory pressure breathing for 4 days. Clinical symptoms and chest X-ray improved rapidly in the course of two weeks, he became almost asymptomatic. We concluded that the nature of this pulmonary damage was pulmonary edema due to the large amount of Adriamycin that flowed into pulmonary artery via arterio-venous shunt present in the hepatocellular carcinoma.
