Figure 1. In A, a coronal section of chest CT showing hyperdense material in the topography of the gastric fundus, splenic hilum, left renal vein, and inferior vena cava, which is compatible with hemostasis material. In B, the axial section also showed hyperdense material in the segmental branch of the middle lobe and in the medial basal subsegmental branch of the right lower lobe, leading to partial filling failure, which is compatible with cyanoacrylate pulmonary embolization.
