Abstract

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) has become an important method for the treatment of liver cancer. It is necessary to super-select the tumor feeding artery, avoid arteries of normal tissues and organs, and avoid complications caused by ectopic embolization. This case is a rare variation of the origin of dorsal pancreatic artery in the course of TACE.
