Abstract
A 63-year-old male patient with compensated cirrhosis underwent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) for a minute hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although the HCC was successfully treated, esophageal varices worsened and refractory ascites developed 3 months after the TAE and PEIT. Liver atrophy progressed rapidly compared to the natural course of liver cirrhosis.
