Case Report: Subcapsular hematoma post-transarterial embolization and its laparoscopic resolution

This case represents, to our knowledge, the first report of SCH as a complication following hepatic artery angiography or attempted TAE and the only reported case of simultaneous laparoscopic management of both a ruptured SCH and a caudate lobe HH. It highlights that SCH, although rare, can be a life-threatening complication of endovascular procedures. Laparoscopic surgery is a feasible and effective therapeutic option for managing such complex conditions. This report underscores the critical importance of meticulous technique during TAE and vigilant postoperative monitoring to prevent this serious complication.
