Management of massive hemobilia with angiographic embolization

Abstract

Two cases of angiographic embolization for the management of massive hemobilia due to hepatico-jejunostomy and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage are presented. The clinical features are described together with a short review of the literature. In addition to defining the bleeding source, angiography provides an effective and safe alternative to surgery for the control of hemobilia.
