Abstract
Fatal hemoperitoneum due to liver capsule perforation has been reported after transvenous liver biopsy. We report 2 cases of prophylactic embolization of such capsular gap. We propose the following techniques for embolization: detection of liver capsule puncture if the liver biopsy is difficult to perform because the liver is small or moves in ascites; and therapeutic embolization of detected capsular gap.Entities:
