Abstract

We present a 60-year-old man suffering from delayed arterial hemorrhage post liver biopsy. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used to detect the bleeding point and to evaluate the efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA). The hemorrhage was controlled by MWA at the bedside. This is the first application of MWA for delayed hemorrhage.

Keywords: bedside; delayed hemorrhage; liver biopsy; microwave ablation (MWA).
