Abstract

An intrahepatic pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following transjugular liver biopsy. Transarterial embolization is considered a safe and effective treatment for treating pseudoaneurysms. Herein we report three cases of intrahepatic pseudoaneurysms following transjugular liver biopsies. The three pseudoaneurysms were managed by the following methods: transarterial embolization, percutaneous transhepatic embolization, and close observation.

간내동맥류는 경피적 간생검 시행 후 발생하는 드문 합병증이며 경동맥 색전술이 안전하고 효과적인 치료법으로 알려져 있다. 우리는 경피적 간생검 시행 후 발생한 세 개의 간내동맥류와 각각을 경동맥 색전술, 경피적 경간 색전술 그리고 근접 관찰로 각각 다른 처치를 시행한 증례를 보고한다.
