  • Title: Iatrogenic hemobilia: how to approach it.
    Author: Lygidakis NJ, Okazaki M, Damtsios G.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 1991 Oct; 38(5):454-7. PubMed ID: 1765366.
    Abstract:
    Hemobilia after surgical or non-surgical interventions on the liver, biliary tree and pancreas is a serious postoperative complication. Two different therapeutic approaches i.e. superselective hepatic artery embolization and surgical management were retrospectively evaluated in a group of 19 patients. Superselective embolization showed a lower mortality and morbidity than did surgery. Superselective embolization resulted in a higher success rate in terms of control of bleeding and identification of the origin of the bleed.
