The patient, who had a history of various treatments for HCC, underwent DEB-TACE. During the procedure, he experienced an anaphylactic shock, presumably due to an allergy to the treatment components (iodinated contrast agent), resulting in the procedure's discontinuation. Initially stable, the patient was later found to have intra-abdominal bleeding, a complication associated with the vascular lake phenomenon (VLP), detected on post-procedural imaging. Re-embolization using gelatin particles was performed to address the VLP.

This case underscores the complexities in managing DEB-TACE, the necessity of careful monitoring for VLP, and the challenges in diagnosing and managing allergic reactions during such procedures. In conclusion, it is crucial to consider that VLP can occur at any time during or after DEB-TACE. Assessing the presence of VLP using digital subtraction angiography before the termination of the procedure is essential.

This is fundamentally flawed because an X-ray represents a \"snapshot\" of the structural appearance of the spine and gives no indication of the current function of the spine. The health and well-being of any system, including the spinal motion segments, depend on the inter-relationship between structure and function. Pain, tissue damage, and injury are not always directly correlated. Due to such a high incidence of abnormalities found in asymptomatic patients, the diagnostic validity of X-rays can be questioned, especially when used in isolation of history and/or proper clinical assessment. The utility of routine X-rays is, therefore, questionable. One may posit that their application promotes overdiagnosis, and unvalidated treatment of X-ray findings (such as changes in postural curvature), which may mislead patients into believing these changes are directly responsible for their pain. A substantial amount of research has shown that there is no association between pain and reversed cervical curves. Accuracy can also be questioned, as X-ray measurements can vary based on the patient's standing position, which research shows is influenced by an overwhelming number of factors, such as patient positioning, patient physical and morphological changes over time, doctor interreliability, stress, pain, the patient's previous night's sleep or physical activity, hydration, and/or emotional state. Furthermore, research has concluded that strong evidence links various potential harms with routine, repeated X-rays, such as altered treatment procedures, overdiagnosis, radiation exposure, and unnecessary costs. Over the past two decades, medical boards and health associations worldwide have made a substantial effort to communicate better \"when\" imaging is required, with most education around reducing radiographic imaging.
