Abstract
- Intraperitoneal bleeding after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the most common major vascular complication due to direct needle injury to a vessel or liver capsule. However, intraperitoneal bleeding as a result of a delayed hepatic rupture after RFA for liver tumors is an extremely rare complication. The present report describes a case of intraperitoneal hemorrhage caused by delayed hepatic rupture resulting from arterioportal fistula after RFA for hepatic metastasis from colorectal cancer and successful management using transcatheter embolization.
