Local percutaneous tumor ablation with ethanol injection (PEI) under general anesthesia is an established therapy for patients with nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). There are reports of sudden hypotension immediately after PEI therapy, which was attributed to an acute increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. The aim of our study was to objectively confirm pulmonary hypertension by right heart catheterization and to evaluate biochemical markers with relevance to the pulmonary circulation.
