Contrary to post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF), damages to the bile ducts and their potential consequences have been poorly evaluated. Thus, our aim was to explore postoperative complications in HCC patients undergoing liver resection after Y90 TARE, focusing particularly on biliary complications.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Conducted from June 2015 to December 2022, this retrospective study involved 30 HCC patients undergoing liver resection post-TARE.
