A case of percutaneous cryoablation complicated by subcapsular hemorrhage managed conservatively

Herein, we report a patient who underwent percutaneous cryoablation for suspected renal cell carcinoma and developed a subcapsular hematoma with numerous pseudoaneurysms and dramatic structural deformity. Despite the severity suggested by the radiologic presentation, a conservative management approa...

Description
Summary:Herein, we report a patient who underwent percutaneous cryoablation for suspected renal cell carcinoma and developed a subcapsular hematoma with numerous pseudoaneurysms and dramatic structural deformity. Despite the severity suggested by the radiologic presentation, a conservative management approach was selected due to the patient's favorable hemodynamic status. This resulted in a positive outcome as alternative treatment options would have resulted in loss of the organ.
