Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm after bone biopsy managed with endovascular coil embolisation
Bone marrow biopsy (BMB) is a routinely performed procedure, with the preferred site being the posterior superior iliac crest. Uncommonly, it may be complicated by haemorrhagic complications, especially in patients with coagulopathy. Here, we present a case of pelvic haematoma following a BMB due to the injury of the right internal iliac artery. Endovascular embolisation was performed on an urgent basis to manage this complication. The bleeding stopped following the embolisation.
