Abstract

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is considered an effective procedure for liver malignancy. Although the majority of TACE related complications can be treated conservatively, appropriate therapeutic interventions, such as percutaneous/endoscopic drainage or partial hepatectomy, might be needed in cases of signs of severe infection and/or progressive biloma. Therefore, we herein report a case of TACE induced biliary complications which were treated with a multi-disciplinary approach; intrahepatic progressive biloma was treated with percutaneous drainage, intrahepatic bile duct stricture was treated by endoscopic balloon dilation and plastic stent placement.
