title: Life-threatening complication after right renal extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: large hepatic haematoma requiring embolisation of the right hepatic artery.
abstract: We present the case of a young female patient who developed a large subcapsular hepatic haematoma following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) administered to a stone in the right kidney. Severe haemorrhagic shock required a partial coiling embolisation of the right hepatic artery.
