: The advent and progression of radiological techniques in the past few decades have revolutionized the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape for liver diseases. These minimally invasive interventions, ranging from biopsies to complex therapeutic procedures like transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement and transarterial embolization, offer substantial benefits for the treatment of patients with liver diseases. They provide accurate tissue diagnosis, allow real-time visualization, and render targeted treatment for hepatic lesions with enhanced precision. Despite their advantages, these procedures are not without risks, with the potential for complications that can significantly impact patient outcomes. It is imperative for radiologists to recognize the signs of these complications promptly to mitigate further health deterioration. Ultrasound, CT, and MRI are widely utilized examinations for monitoring the complications. This article presents an overarching review of the most commonly encountered hepatobiliary complications post-radiological interventions, emphasizing their imaging characteristics to improve patient post-procedure management.

Abstract

: The advent and progression of radiological techniques in the past few decades have revolutionized the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape for liver diseases. These minimally invasive interventions, ranging from biopsies to complex therapeutic procedures like transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement and transarterial embolization, offer substantial benefits for the treatment of patients with liver diseases. They provide accurate tissue diagnosis, allow real-time visualization, and render targeted treatment for hepatic lesions with enhanced precision. Despite their advantages, these procedures are not without risks, with the potential for complications that can significantly impact patient outcomes. It is imperative for radiologists to recognize the signs of these complications promptly to mitigate further health deterioration. Ultrasound, CT, and MRI are widely utilized examinations for monitoring the complications. This article presents an overarching review of the most commonly encountered hepatobiliary complications post-radiological interventions, emphasizing their imaging characteristics to improve patient post-procedure management.
