Spontaneous resolution of asymptomatic hepatic pseudoaneurysm post radiofrequency ablation
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a hepatic tumour is an established treatment option with an acceptable complication rate. Formation of a pseudoaneurysm after RFA of liver metastasis is an uncommon complication. We report the case of a 69-year-old female patient developing a hepatic pseudoaneurysm...

| description | Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a hepatic tumour is an established treatment option with an acceptable complication
rate. Formation of a pseudoaneurysm after RFA of liver metastasis is an uncommon complication. We report the case of a
69-year-old female patient developing a hepatic pseudoaneurysm after RFA of liver metastasis. On a follow-up CT scan 6
weeks later, there was spontaneous resolution of the pseudoaneurysm. Hepatic pseudoaneurysms are usually treated
owing to the risk of rupture. Invasive procedures or conservative management of an asymptomatic hepatic
pseudoaneurysm is still the subject of debate. The spontaneous resolution of a hepatic pseudoaneurysm in our patient
suggests that an asymptomatic pseudoaneurysm maybe observed for resolution instead of being treated at presentation. |
