Clinical-Interventional debriefing analysis for all patients who underwent ultrasound-guided focal liver biopsy and developed hemorrhage requiring embolization. PVA=polyvinyl alcohol particles. AVF = Arterial-Venous fistula. PSA = Pseudoaneurysm

Patient Angiography findings Embolization materials Catheter position Result
1 AVF 100 μm PVA, microcoils Segmental (focal / sub-selective not possible) Effective
2 Extravasation 40–120 μm microspheres, PVA, microcoils Segmental, lobar (focal / sub-selective not possible) Effective
3 AVF, PSA 500–700 μm microspheres, microcoils Focal sub-selective/subsegmental Effective
4 AVF 300 μm PVA, microcoils Focal sub-selective and segmental Effective
5 AVF 300–500 μm PVA Lobar Effective
6 PSA, hypervascular tumor 50 μm PVA, microcoils Focal sub-selective and subsegmental Effective
7 Transient blush Gelfoarr particles and slurry Lobar Effective
8 AVF, Extravasation Microcoils Focal sub-selective Effective
9 Transient blush Gelfoam particles Sectoral Post-embolization transfusion was given for hemoglobin drop by 1 point.
10 Hepatic arterial-biliary fistula 100–300 μm microspheres, 100 μm PVA Lobar Persistent slow bleeding for 8 days after embolization.
11 None 50 μm PVA Lobar Effective
12 Extravasation Coils, 300–500 μm PVA Sectoral Effective
