Article Synopsis
- Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms are rare, occurring in about 1% of cases after metal stenting for malignant biliary issues, with fewer instances following plastic stenting for benign conditions.
- A case is presented involving a 61-year-old man who developed hemobilia following the placement of plastic biliary stents, despite lacking common risk factors.
- Successful treatment of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved through superselective transarterial embolization, and monitoring with imaging techniques is advised if hemobilia occurs post-stenting.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with bilateral lung metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) typically receive molecular therapy, with atezolizumab and bevacizumab showing potential for long-term survival.
- A 67-year-old woman treated for HCC experienced metastases in her lungs and underwent multiple therapies, including lenvatinib, atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, and later cabozantinib and dual immune checkpoint inhibitors.
- Despite limited response from some treatments, she maintained stable disease for extended periods while preserving liver function and quality of life.
