Abstract
Post-embolization syndrome (PES) is a common side effect of solid organ embolization.
Clinical manifestations of PES are typically pain, fever, and sickness (nausea) sometimes described as a flu-like illness.
It is important to differentiate PES from infection and tumor lysis syndrome, since these require different management.
Occurrence and severity of PES cannot be predicted in any individual patient.
Effective prevention and management of PES are crucial to fast patient recovery and improve patient satisfaction and quality of life.
