Description
Summary:Hepatic subcapsular hematomas (HSH) are an extremely rare post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) complication. Mortality exhibits disparities depending on the integrity of the hepatic capsular envelope, with ruptured HSH being associated with higher case fatality rates (2.2 % compared to 21.4 %). Two clinical cases are presented concerning a 20-year-old female patient and a 40-year-old male patient, who were diagnosed with choledocholithiasis and underwent ERCP procedures with the use of a wide-bore guidewire (WBG), with the undesired result of HSH as a complication. In both scenarios, a surgical approach strategy was chosen to manage this situation. The outcome turned out to be successful in the first case, in contrast to the unfortunate death of the patient in the second case. Conservative approaches prevail in the management of HSH, as they often present intact, resulting in a low mortality rate. However, surgical approaches are reserved for consideration in situations of hemodynamic instability that persists despite the conservative measures implemented. •Hepatic subcapsular hematomas are an extremely rare post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography complication•Surgical approaches are reserved for consideration in situations of hemodynamic instability•Mortality exhibits disparities depending on the integrity of the hepatic capsular envelope
