Abstract

Hemorrhagic rupture is a very rare and life-threatening hepatic cyst complication. Several treatment methods have been used for hepatic cyst hemorrhage and/or rupture; however, transcatheter arterial embolization for hepatic cyst hemorrhage has been poorly documented. An 80-year-old man receiving dual antiplatelet therapy was diagnosed with hemorrhagic rupture of a hepatic cyst. Transcatheter arterial embolization using a coil was performed for A6 branch confirmed active extravasation. His condition improved promptly after treatment, and the hepatic cyst gradually became smaller as compared to the size before hemorrhage. Transcatheter arterial embolization is suitable for hepatic cyst hemorrhage and might be a minimally invasive treatment option for a symptomatic hepatic cyst.
