Abstract

We herein report a 34-year-old woman born with tetralogy of Fallot who had undergone 5 cardiac repair procedures. She developed liver nodules with congestive cirrhosis secondary to severe mitral regurgitation and an atrial septal defect. A percutaneous liver biopsy showed hepatocellular carcinoma with liver fibrosis, which was treated using transarterial chemoembolization.

Keywords: atrial septal defect; hepatocellular carcinoma; mitral regurgitation; tetralogy of Fallot; transarterial chemoembolization.
