When Things Go Wrong—Iatrogenic Trauma in Interventional Radiology (IR)

Abstract As interventional radiology procedures continue to expand in scope and scale, iatrogenic complications are inevitable. Although most literature highlights procedural success, it is equally as important to discuss complications. In this case series we describe three cases of iatrogenic trauma and their management: percutaneous nephroureteral access complicated by colonic injury, hemobilia due to hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm, and percutaneous retrieval of a cholecystostomy drain. Risk factors and treatment strategies are highlighted.
